The attacks on New York and Washington were meant to inflict as much death
and suffering as possible in support of a retrograde fascist worldview. The
counterattack on the Taliban and al-Qaeda saved millions from starvation and
freed the Afghans from their oppressors. Even those who opposed the
intervention, like RAWA and Tariq Ali, admit that they're happy to see the
Taliban routed. Who, other than Wahabbi enthusiasts and various neo-Nazis,
can say that they're happy that thousands were massacred in New York?
