Pretty sure the US wouldn’t have went to Afghanistan if it wasn’t for 911… It’s this the new thing? Ignoring the invasion of Afghanistan? It’s the second time since I’m on Lemmy that I see people acting like that never happened…
I think most Americans still consider Afghanistan justified, but recognize Iraq as a mistake based on lies. It’s not that they ignore it, it’s just easier to swallow.
Of course. A calculated, targeted attack would have been too effective and wouldn’t generate enough profit for the defense industry. Lucky they pissed off Afghanistan in 1998 with Operation Infinite Reach or the Taliban might have turned him over years before 9/11. That’s just bad business.

Terrorist financed by Saudi Arabia found and killed in Pakistan -> Afghanistan was justified and totally not based on lies!
