China has copper mines and oil extraction going on there. They have recently been training some of the Afghan military (who are defecting to the Taliban). They have been building the fiber optic network there. And most importantly Afghanistan is necessary to their belt and road initiative; the Sino-Afgan railway is just the beginning.

To hell with Afghanistan. I'm still annoyed Bush pissed away 20 years with an invasion instead of giving the Taliban an ultimatum: "You're giving us the heads of every Al-Qaeda member in your country, and everyone who invited them, or we're nuking one city a day until you do. Because this is the only thing you third world savages understand."

Opium/heroin. The Taliban doesn't allow opium poppy cultivation.

The Taliban provided guest-right to Al-Qaeda and allowed it to openly operate training camps. Said terrorists killed a whole lot of Americans. The USA should never have tried to nation build in Afghanistan, but shutting that terrorist shithole down would have been beneficial.

fuck off with this neocon bullshit, if the US actually cared about who did 9/11 they'd have nuked Tel Aviv.

Nope instead he bought shares in Haliburton with Cheney and got paid 30 dollars a plate of food per troop.
