"America doesnt have to be bombing them, there are other ways of dealing with this."
Like what
Diplomatic relations; Pakistan is the only country in the world to recognize the Taliban as the government of Afghanistan, and they are now on our side, oddly.
Economic pressure; Afghanistan is already under heavy sanctions from the UN due to it's human rights violations. Not to mention there is little to threaten them with.
Political pressure; they have an amassing ability to twist anything we say into an attack on there religion.
What exactly could we do that we are not already doing or have done?
In fact we have been inconceivably accommodating to these... people?
Not only in Afghanistan but also in Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Yemen and several thousand other little countries that no one has ever heard of.
We are the most generous country in the world, and what do we get for sending thousands of rescue workers into earthquake and hurricane disaster zones, sending Billions of dollars out of our pockets and into the poorest countries in existence,
And what do we get,
Death and hate from every corner of the globe
Airliners crashing into buildings
People happy to die in the name of a religion that denounces their acts if only they can kill us
Mass murder
The present situation in Afghanistan is there because we helped a resistance movement to a harsh and repressive communist invasion, after they beat them back we left them to govern themselves but instead they turned on each other and then on us.
