Similar questions: fault war Afghanistan bombs munitions killing afghans.
On the one hand, Afghanis share the burden for hosting the Taliban in the first place. On the other hand, many Afghanis didn't want the Taliban, don't want the Taliban, don't like them, want these foreign rulers (from Saudi Arabia) to go and stay gone, and our bombings are one of the many reasons they don't like them. However, they help us get rid of them and the Taliban show up on their doorstep with a suspicious parcel.
Thus, the real tragedy is that the Afghanis are caught between two impossible choices.
2 It would be a radical oversimplification to say that they "brought it on themselves", since some of the people being killed weren't even alive when 9/11 happened. It is, unfortunately, what happens in wartime. People always die in wars who do not deserve it.
The rules of war are set up to try to minimize unnecessary deaths among civilians, but nobody expects them to be zero. The world does not hold those deaths against us as long as we're following the rules of war. For the most part, we seem to be doing that.
We're going after legitimate military targets, using only conventional weapons, and even going so far as to warning the civilians that we're coming (which also means tipping off our enemies. )You can't expect the individual Afghanis hurt by the fighting to be exactly thrilled about it. Most of them simply want both the Americans and the Taliban to go away.
Some will be glad for the Americans to have gotten rid of the Taliban; others will be too mired in their own loss. I think that few Americans feel guilty about the way they've proceeded. This war is about as justified as one gets, and we're proceeding with about as much care and diligence as possible.(At least, now we are.
We kind of left them to their own devices for a number of years when we could have been pursuing our mutual enemies, the Taliban. ) .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
