My mate is old enough to know better, but he always says that Americans deserved 9/11 for poking their nose into other wars. His exact wordings. That's definitely a wicked thing to say, even if you dislike a specific country. Literally thousands of people got killed that day when the Twin Towers fell, and there was the crashes at the Pentagon and that empty field.
That doesn't really help because 9/11 just encournaged America to do more nasalpoken.
The days of isolationationist America are over. They're still struggling to find a new identity after the end of the cold war so they still have a cold war attitude towards intervention.

I feel we should poke our noses in Afghanistan right now. Our withdrawal has caused a disaster. Denying women education is criminal.
Reocupation would only be a temporary solution.
19 years and the US couldn't find a way to fill the power-vacuum and create and Afghanistan that functions independantly without the Taliban. If America stayed there for another 19 years they still couldn't do it.
