thousands more lives in what's now the longest conflict in u.s. history and itself is going to come reports the killing didn't stop there. meaning it started as a war on terror spawned by the deadliest here is the tackling history you know whether she were the enemy that's clear but the circle of america's enemies grew quickly and included nations that had nothing to do with nine eleven they were defined by george bush as the axis of evil some of these regimes have been pretty quiet since september eleventh but we know their true nature north korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction starving its citizens . juran aggressively pursues these weapons and actually forged her while an unelected few repressed the iranian people scope for freedom. iraq and change the foreigners are stealing he told america and to support terror two years after nine

eleven the us invaded iraq on the grounds that he had weapons of mass destruction and was doing business with al qaida grounds which proved to be false hundreds of thousands of iraqi civilians have died since the invasion they used the moment and in the wake of nine eleven to divert from afghanistan a real target should have been our real target and go to iraq it also was the low hanging fruit north korea was far more dangerous but too difficult hundred thousand casualties they could buy on both sides seoul would be destroyed iran was too difficult seventy million people not fractured like the iraqis and the sunni and shia christian and other as for the motives behind invading iraq some talk will iraq right now is sitting on probably two hundred billion barrels maybe three hundred billion barrels that's a reaction on oil report though he plans to be a thirteen million barrels per day production capacity in seven years that

surpasses saudi arabia now you know why dick cheney went to war with others blame america's self assigned rule as the world's policeman the driving idea behind it is that it had to monex to realty the idea is that the but world is going to be more secure place overall if there is a a unit whole or world a sole remaining superpower much of what has happened post nine eleven in the name of responding to nine eleven has been a pretext as terrorism was no longer the only reason for landing on washington's enemy list the us had even more far reaching plans on the table former vice president dick cheney says he urged the bush administration to bomb syria but one time because of its alleged nuclear weapons program a move which experts say would have had disastrous effect on the region president obama was elected on hopes that he would answers the endless wars. overseas which most americans are opposed to but he continues and adds one more another up the oil

rich nation leave yet and this time in the name of removing any bill dictator. some worry syria could be next we have a an executive power that is beyond any check by the people and by the congress and by the courts for war we can go toward the drop of a coin we've reached a point now where the president the united states can kill people for state purposes any time he or she feels i mean. since nine eleven america's war on terror has crossed many borders from pakistan to yemen and other countries the chase for a handful of terrorists has turned the lives of entire nations upside down we're talking about hundreds of thousands of innocent lives taken by the decade of constant war and many worry that a tragedy as great as nine eleven has served as a pretext for an even greater tragedy one that has no end in sight i'm going to

check our reporting from washington r.t. . the suicide bombing in afghanistan has wounded more than seventy american soldiers and killed two civilians it's been seen as the taliban's way of marking a decade since nine eleven the movement issued a statement after sunday's attack denying it had anything to do with events in the u.s. ten years ago when nearly ten years after the u.s. led coalition invaded afghanistan it doesn't seem any closer to winning the war there with the taliban still relentless in conflicts estimated to have cost over ten thousand afghan civilians their lives as they're often caught in the crossfire as u.s. combat troops be given their gradual withdrawal from the country most locals don't even know foreign forces came in the first place. helmand in southern afghanistan this province that was borne the brunt of the fighting between the total coalition forces but afghans in this one province think about nine eleven and its consequences. well in patrol with the marines like

a first opportunity to ask a couple of young afghan men what they know about knowing that. if you show them a few more to us they know where it is even. if it's god because you're a former neighborhood of. the world or so up to. the two young men and clearly never heard of nine eleven. but maybe the elders of the local sure would have more to say you know you see. that is saying i think just can see the smoke from the buildings and that's a that's only thing i can say when you guys show this picture because hearing it so i think it was a call but if i just got here i would been surprised but having been here now for six months this is premised stone ages where we are. what about the rest of the destiny so what the guy who said it was kabul was clearly never going to kabul it just shows you how isolated they are even their own country come on them i don't

understand. that you know you don't think you know that america can attempt at this point and to get the airplane from here to the united states you know how that much power that. was nice to go from iraq to that here is a lot easier to understand you know why you're here and what do you see at that picture you know it's good picture remind yourself because what appears to be afghans looking at it in this context where you want to carry rifles. we said to you back that we're. going to make and saying we're going to help you here just one building and it is serious how many buildings and this is going to help you where is the help. wake up or to this ng to get to our kids going in for fighting and they do it with their own kids in a cave but i don't indeed and. i do sympathize or understand what your some are saying it's even just from the weather we've had recently people losing their homes and nobody to help so when you have when you can't feed yourself or her house yourself are you going to care about somebody you know six thousand miles away. so

i can understand this office visit i thought it was a top of the list with i never thought to ask those questions of. anybody here that's why we're here amazingly in a country where for ten years a war has been fought with nine eleven as its root cause and justification it turns out not only were the villages the polygamist tonight so with the afghan police and even some of the translators working with the u.s. military if you go that is for you to sit on i have no idea what syria if you want to see the faces before. a survey taken in twenty ten by the international council on security and development found that ninety two percent of afghan men in helmand and other afghan provinces had no idea what nine eleven was with american troops that start with during this year it seems likely that they will leave a. still without the vast majority of americans ever having really understood why they came in the first place adam puts from mexico so. well for full coverage of
