Which in reality should be the real crime. To start a war killing countless of innocent people... for what?

So how did war in Afghanistan start? Taliban apparently came to power via war a couple of years before US engagement.

Suppose that was a crime. Who punishes the criminals? Maybe that is exactly what the US sees itself doing?

Unfortunately to punish war criminals, usually you have to win against them in a war.

The Taliban were a tiny splinter group before the US financed and trained them. They have always been fanatics. Funny how they were not called terrorists while the US thought they could use them for their own ends.

Why did the US fiance and train them? So it seems there was another war going on? Who started that war, and why?

Also I think they changed their allegiances, so they became terrorist towards US people?
