Is the Afghanistan War another Iraq War?

Question

Are Soldiers from various nations fighting Bush's war? Are leaders of these nations afraid of retribution from the US government, and hence choosing to send their troops to fight in Afghanistan?

Is this war worth fighting for like World 1 and 2.

Answer 1

Well since the war in Afghanistan started before the recent war in Iraq (ie not the gulf war) it would be a bit silly to say it was another of the same.

Answer 2

Yes...The ironic thing is the Afghans (Taliban) are killing our troops with American and British weapons, that were given to them by the US and Britain to defend themselves from Russia, during the war with them.....

This is the Middle East crusades all over again...

Answer 3

Both wars are totally wrong. Iraq is now an occupation & not a war. Now Russia have moved into Georgia (which is also wrong!), the American & British governments are condemning them. Talk about people in glasshouses throwing stones! Trouble is the western right wing capitalist media are making people believe that these wars are necessary, They will probably whip people up into supporting an Iran invasion aswell. Hate breeds hate! Increase the peace.

Answer 4

Our attackers operated from Afghanistan. That's where we go to kill them. Virtually all Americans supported the first action, but most think Iraq is unnecessary.
