100x civilians died because of the war in Afghanistan, which was mainly planned in the US. Looking forward to disagreeing with your Afghani twin about the justification for invading and occupying the US for 20 years.


Please stay on topic. I'm arguing that the war was justifiably initiated because the US was responding to an attack that killed ~3,000 of it's citizens.


I thought I was. It's not justifiable to bomb and invade a whole sovereign nation to capture a few criminals. Especially if that nation is willing to negotiate their extradition for a fair trial. Just like it would not be justifiable for Afghanistan to bomb and invade the US now because a few criminals "tortured some folks" and killed 1000s of its citizens who had nothing to do with 9/11.
