It was al-Qaeda -- not Saddam Hussein or the Ba'ath Party -- that attacked the United States in 2001. A terrorist organization that had targeted the U.S. twice before, both in a bombing of the USS Cole and American embassies in Africa, al-Qaeda had the support of Afghanistan's Taliban government. The Afghanistan war was a logical response to an attack. The Taliban were overthrown within a few months. Now, in the interim, several things happened: one, the U.S. government appointed the very pro-U.S. and Bush-friendly Hamid Karazi to the presidency in Afghanistan; his legacy since then has been a government so corrupt that Afghanis would rather the Taliban were still in charge. Two, President Bush decided to take resources and focus from Afghanistan and pile it into Iraq, a country that had never attacked the U.S. in any way. Thanks to Bush's decision to start a conflict in Iraq where none had existed before, the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan. I feel that Obama is attempting to correct the Afghanistan issue as he draws down in Iraq. As much as I feel the war in Iraq was a mistake, I feel that the war in Afghanistan was not.
