Recently, Afghanistan has been on the attention of international terrorists. They have been plotting to infiltrate and attack our nation, as well as the Western world at large. These international terrorists were supposedly funded by Saudi Arabia and some Gulf States. Many Americans believe that it was the Bush administration in America that allowed these radicals to travel into our country, which allowed them to carry out their dirty work here in the U.S., in America. Some citizens are upset and do not want to be accused of allowing foreign terrorists to come to the United States. Singapore news update.
Recently the New York Times published an article; "Osama Says Pakistan Behind Afghan Terrorists," by Carol Teegarde. This article implied that the United States was indirectly supporting the Afghanistan terrorists through supplying money and arms. While I do not believe this is entirely true, I also do not think the United States was behind the September 11th Attack itself.
So what are our goals? We want to defeat al Qaeda, which is associated with international terrorism? We want to help fix the security situation in Afghanistan, and prevent the Taliban from taking over? Are we trying to pre-empt a future attack on the United States? Do we want to "viergate" the Pakistani population so they won't support or sponsor International terrorists?. The unfortunate fact is, no one knows for sure who is behind these terrorists. We know al Qaeda does have members inside the country. We also know that the Taliban has sleeper cells and training facilities in that nation. All these groups are linked, and we must work together to defeat them.
While it is true that the Taliban has denied having any role in the September 11th Attack in America, many are now calling themselves al Qaeda. There have even been reports that Bin Laden himself may have made a surprise visit to Pakistan. All of these groups are fighting for one cause, and that is to overthrow the Western World and install a strict sharia government.
We cannot allow the nation of Afghanistan to become a haven for International terrorists. This country is a victim of those who would use it as their new base to carry out attacks on the United States and our allies. We cannot risk the lives of American citizens while our nation works hard to defeat these International terrorists. We must move quickly to restore order and prevent violence against Americans.
