The Axis Powers may no longer exist, but Nazis sure do. Neo Nazis may not be in huge numbers but they still exist.
Does Nazi Germany though? The point is eliminating state sponsors of terror and disrupting the terror network, not policing thought. Yeah, we have commies in our universities, but they aren't immediate threats like the Soviets were. Yes there are skinheads, but they're not sinking our ships with U-boats. I think a little context is needed here.
On a separate note, I'm not entirely sure on how the American system works, but I heard that in the Iraq war we (including Britain here) went in despite the fact that the UN deemed it an unjust cause. I may have just made that up, I'm not sure, but I'm certain that one of the things needed to be in the UN is to only fight in wars that they have voted to back up (so's the abolition of the death penalty but that's another story).
The UN can deem whatever it wants. It's a body of dictatorships, socialists, terrorist states, and anti-semitic leadership. Yeah, it's illegal if you believe Kofi Annan, the most corrupt Secretary-General in history. Otherwise it's completely justifiable taking into account United Nations Security Council Resolutions 660, 661, 662, 664, 665, 666, 667, 669, 670, 671, 674, 677, 678, 685, 686, 687, 688, 689, 692, 699, 700, 705, 706, 707, 712, 715, 773, 778, 806, 833, 899, 986, 1111, 1115, 1129, 1134, 1137, 1143, 1153, 1154, 1158, 1175, 1194, 1205, 1210, 1241, 1243, 1266, 1275, 1280, 1281, 1284, 1302, 1330, 1352, 1360, 1382, 1409, 1441, 1443, 1447, 1454, 1476, 1483, and so on.
america gets alot of support i learnt it from my general studies lesson that they get public, goverment,financial, scientific and much more support yes
We really don't get that much support. The leading nine countries combined only have 29,860 troops in, well under even half what the US has there. Those nine BTW are the only ones that have sent at least 1,000 troops in. You know how many troops Austria has in Afghanistan to "support" us? Four. Not four hundred, not four thousand, just four. You know who we get the most support from? Afghanistan itself, which has over 90,000 troops protecting its country and fighting alongside us. Of our biggest allies, France is refusing to send more, Canada is going to pull out, the British want a pullout date, and only the Australians and Poles are reliably sticking around.
but like what are we fighting for exactly? power everyones got it in them but on the contrary this is silly millions of people die fighting about differences
It amazes me how people ask "what are we fighting for in Afghanistan" like an open-ended question, like it's just as unanswerable as "why are we here?" How can anyone not possibly know why we're in Afghanistan?
and why cant they fight it out with the people that is the cause of it?
...What do you think we're doing? We're not fighting the Chinese over there.
