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.

Eh, I go back and forth about whethter or not invading in the first place was a good idea, but I've always thought it was stupid to remain after more than a few years. The basic idea of just dropping in and kicking a government's ass when they attack us (through proxies or otherwise) is decent in itself because it discourages countries from attacking us. Probably killed a lot of Al-Qaeda operatives, which is nice. But obviously, there are costs to war, and these days I tend to think we're better off just improving security moving forwards and putting most of our focus into more boring but more important killers like heart disease.
