The Afghan war was mostly an excuse for the military-industrial complex of USA to keep it's ridiculous budget. Also, torture of war prisioners is a war crime, even when the "good guys" do it.
Yes, but how is NATO supposed to prevent the (as democratically as possible) elected Afghanistan government from torturing domestically short of overthrowing the government, again?
Opposing the Afghanistan War doesn't make one a genocide apologist.
tl;dr is that the War in Afghanistan was justified?
