War in Afghanistan


ISSUE: Afghanistan War

Afghanistan is located in Asia and it has borders with Iran, Pakistan, Russia, China and Kashmir .The War started in October 07 of 2001 in reaction to the 11 0f September attacks to the twin towers The stated purpose was to capture Osama bin Laden - who, it was believed, was the brains behind the attack on the Twin Towers in New York City and the Pentagon Building near Washington, DC. This war damaged the quarters of Kabul and Herat. The United States and Britain started an aerial bomb campaign in Afghanistan. The country itself largely reverted to the control of the regional warlords who held power before the Taliban. Britain, Canada, and other NATO nations provided forces for various military, peacekeeping, and humanitarian operations. Many other nations also agreed to contribute humanitarian aid. Some researches say the war will end when force of the U.S. attacks commence when political conditions are right and when the forces have enough information to virtually ensure the capture or killing of suspected terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, destruction of his Al Qaeda terror network, and removal of the Taliban, the current rulers of Afghanistan, who have harbored bin Laden and his followers. But nobody knows when the war will end.!!
