I don't even know why we sent troops there in the first place. It's truly a shame that as of now, nearly 3,000 American troops (and hundreds of Allied troops) have been killed. And all for what? That place is never going to change. It's worthless. It just makes me angry at Bush.
Because this thing called "9/11" happened, and Americans cried for blood. As we knew Osama operated out of Afghanistan, and Al-Quieda had multiple terrorist cells in the country backed by the Taliban, we went there, to do as America pleaded. After we pounded AQ and Tali into the dirt, we set about trying to restore the country so that terrorist cells wouldn't be able to find a home in Afghanistan again, very similar to the Cold War where to stop communism we'd go in and establish a democracy. For those who don't understand, look up vietnamization(spelling?), they're pretty close.
