Does anyome changed their mind about the Afghan War?

I asked because it was widely supported at the time of the invasion.

Have you changed your mind on this? If so, why? Do you think it could ever have worked out and what do you think would have been a good outcome? Do you feel you were lied to?

Please keep the Trump vrs Biden stuff off the thread because it's not relevent to my question. Thanks.

We need something long term there. We couldn’t just be attacked and not to do anything. I think both the USA and Afghanistan don’t have their crap together.

@Keepitsimple We could have killed Bin Laden and left - the Taliban could not (and likely wouldn't have tried to) prevent us from hunting down Al Qaeda. In the end, we had to kill him in Pakistan anyway.

The nation building was purely optional and totally self inflicted.
