War in Afghanistan was inevitable since the rigid Islamic
government of Taliban leader Mullah Muhammad Omar insured safe
harbor to Osama bin Laden, leader of al-Qaida terrorists who killed
2,978 innocent people September 11, 2001, in Manhattan, the
Pentagon and a Shanksville, Pennsylvania, pasture.
Bin Laden said the U.S. was targeted in retaliation for: 1] its
support of Israel, 2] building a military base in Saudi Arabia,
home of Islam's holy sites Mecca and Medina and 3] its "decadent"
popular culture. There was an additional human factor that
encompassed U.S. troops in a strange land. Thus, the story wound
itself around feuding warlords, poppy fields, political clout of
the Northern Alliance Tajik, Uzbek and Hazara clans who supported
the U.S.-led war and the larger Pashtun clan that allowed the
terror.
The Taliban government was overthrown in a month, al-Qaida's
power was greatly diminished. Afghanistan held a Loya Jirga,
adopted a constitution and the" people" elected a president for the
first time in the nation's 5,000-year history.
The collective "we" (U.S., Great Britain, Australia, Norway,
Denmark, Poland, Italy et al.) did that with the will of the Afghan
people
