The Iraqi's are the ones on the brink of a Civil War. Afghanistan was invaded due to Al Queada's involvment in the 9/11 attacks. the US simply can't just'leave' due to the Power Vacuum that would follow such
Why was afghanistan invaded because of 9/11, I'd like to hear your explanation. Why did we not get bin laden when we had him cornered in tora bora?
In regards to the high jackers of 9/11, 15 of the 19 were from Saudia Arabia, the others were from lebanon, egypt, and the united arab emirates. Many of them came to the US through pakistan. Notice what country is not on that list? Afghanistan.
I understand that some were trained by al qaeda in afghanistan, the same place we trained bin laden to fight the soviets, however thinking we could fix that country's problem was delusional. They are organized against us because we have been bombing and killing their people for decades. The only way to stop the madness, is to cut ties and run. March in, march out.
