>I'm saying the motivation behind starting it was not for bettering peoples live.
I mean it literally was, the main reason was to get rid of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, I'd say that's a very positive reason.

>My dude. The United States’ CIA founded the Taliban as a means of counterbalancing USSR presence in the region.
Lol no they didn't, the Taliban didn't even form until AFTER the berlin wall fell, unless your talking about the Mujahedeen. And it wasn't the CIA that founded the Taliban, it was Pakistan's ISI that radicalized, funded, and armed Afghan refugee's and Pakistani citizens so that way when the Taliban took over Afghanistan in the 90's it would be more favorable for them.

What oil ? The amount of oil we import from Iraq had pretty much been the same before the war started. Why would we even need to go to war for oil when we're literally the largest producers of oil in the world. HOWEVER Haliburton did make a shit ton off of defense contracts through KBR in the Iraq war and Dick Cheney WAS still getting paid by Haliburton despite no longer being the CEO and was the Vice President of the US at the time. But that's not necessarily the reason why we went to war in the first place.

>We go to war for profit.
Sure some people make money off of war but god damn dude we DUMPED BILLIONS into Afghanistan. It was because of us for those 20 god damn years Afghanistan saw the largest economic growth, women were able to go college and work, schools and hospitals were able to be built in remote villages for the first time, etc. It wasn't wasted, we actually made a generation of Afghans lives somewhat bearable.

I mean hell you have someone like Stephanie Lazarus who got away with murder for almost 40 years until the police found new evidence in the case.

Yeah do your right, I'm the idiot here.

Gtfo here if you even think that events like that are gonna turn us in Afghanistan.
