What is the War in Afghanistan
The war in Afghanistan is a very serious war. The United States and Afghanistan are fighting the Taliban. The War started because the US targeted the Islams or people who resembled the Islams, such as the Taliban, for burning down the Twin Towers in New York. The US has mostly targeted a Afghan named Osama bin Laden. The Taliban is a group of people who are very strict Muslims. They took over Afghanistan in 1997. The Taliban has full custody over Osama bin Ladan. As much as the US asks, the Taliban refuses to hand over Osama. They say that Osama is a guest in their country. Osama bin Laden is a very wealthy terrorist that lives in Afghanistan. He absolutely hates the US. That is why he burned down the Twin Towers (or so we think.) He hates the American policies and the American ways of life. Osama controls a worldwide network for terrorist. The people who crashed into the Twin Towers were believed to be followers of Osama. Laden has been hiding in secret places all over Afghanistan since 1996. ** Why is the War in Afghanistan ** On September 11, 2001, the Twin Towers were burned down. The US government targeted Islams or people who resembled Islams, such as the Taliban. The government then decided to seek revenge, not knowing how or where, but thinking of the Taliban who are ruining the lives of the poor Afghans. ** Terrorism ** Terrorism is the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims. The Taliban is a group of terrorist. They are terrorist because of the way they treat women. The US government is a terrorist in a way. The US government is a terrorist because they target civilians with an intention of pressuring the government. That is a way to engage in terrorism. Therefore, part of the US Government is a Terrorist.

Women are forced to wear long gowns that cover them head to toe. Women are also not allowed to go to school. In Afghanistan, television and other sources of entertainment are banned. Musical instruments are banned too. Men are put in jail if they do not have a long beard. ====== The war affects life in Afghanistan in many ways. They do not have a big Army because they need the support from the US. The War makes people feel not free because they have tough rules and they aren't allowed to do anything. Women are not allowed to go to school. Since the women aren't allowed to go to school, they aren't able to learn. The women are not that smart to due the lack of learning. This affects how the Afghan women's future will be.
