Re: Taliban no more terrorists?

In wars strategies change and new ones are adapted as the situation requires. Having said that, I would like to make it clear, that anyone who attacks the United States and its people will be considered “the enemy”. That will never change. Some of us keep forgetting that Al-Qaida had been attacking American interests all over the world long before 9/11 but when they attacked our homeland and killed over 3000 of our citizens and proudly claimed responsibility, we could not sit still. We asked the Taliban who were in power in Afghanistan to hand over Al-Qaida operatives who had made Afghanistan their terror headquarters. When they refused, we attacked them to go after the killers.

Our success in Afghanistan is reflected through the people of Afghanistan who are free to live normal lives. Would you not agree that today Afghans enjoy better quality of live then they did under Taliban? Are their children not free to pursue education that was denied to them under Taliban’s rule? Today Afghans are on the road to success. They hold their destiny in their own hands and this is our victory in Afghanistan. We will be further victorious when the region is totally free of terrorism and people can live their lives in peace and prosperity.
