Are they still harboring the USA’s most wanted terrorist?

These people seem to forget that the reason we went into Afghanistan was that the Al Quaida camps and leaders responsible for the attack on New York were stationed there. We did not demand the removal of the Taliban, we demanded that the Taliban allow us to remove Al Quaida. And we gave them months.
The only alternative to going in would be to 1) allow this to be used as a base for future attacks or 2) level the place the way we did Germany and Japan.
In todays world, we would have been called war criminals…including by many in the US.

Exactly. They forget what the main goal was in the first place.
