Answer:

The statement is true. The US began fighting in Afghanistan in 2001, after the terrorist attacks of September 11th.

Explanation:

After 9/11, the clues of those responsible for the terrorist attacks in New York led to the terrorist organization Al Qaeda, headed by Osama Bin Laden. In 2001 Bin Laden was a refugee in Afghanistan, where there was a radical Islamist political regime by the Taliban. The Taliban came to power after the withdrawal of the invading army from the USSR in the late 1980s. The United States needed a strong military response to show the world its capacity to react to terrorist attacks on its territory.

In this previous context, the US initiated its actions against Afghanistan in October 2001. The Taliban regime refused to deliver Osama Bin Laden to the US, which led them to prepare a war to seize him even invading the country and overthrowing the Taliban regime.  

The military actions were quick and the US managed to overthrow the Taliban political regime and take the cities of Kabul and Kandahar in a month. In November 2001, the US considered that it had won the war. But his real objective, to capture Osama Bin Laden, had failed. Bin Laden and part of the Al Qaeda leadership in Afghanistan first fled to the mountains on the border with Pakistan (which are difficult to access militarily) and later camouflaged themselves within the population of Pakistan. Despite the political fall of the Taliban within the government of Afghanistan, they continued to dominate some territories and did not stop fighting against US military troops.

Write a paragraph explaining why it has been so difficult to make peace between the
sergey [27]

Answer: The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the ongoing struggle between Israelis and Palestinians that began in the early 20th century. The conflict is wide-ranging, and the term is also used in reference to the earlier phases of the same conflict, between the Zionist yishuv and the Arab population living in Palestine under Ottoman and then British rule. It forms part of the wider Arab-Israeli conflict. The remaining key issues are: mutual recognition, borders, security, water rights, control of Jerusalem, Israeli settlements, Palestinian freedom of movement and finding a resolution to the refugee question. The violence resulting from the conflict has prompted international actions, as well as other security and human rights concerns, both within and between both sides, and internationally. In addition, the violence has curbed expansion of tourism in the region, which is full of historic and religious sites that are of interest to many people around the world.
