Lesson 39
Lesson 39
The U.S. and the UK led the aerial bombing campaign, with ground forces supplied primarily by the Afghan Northern Alliance. Later, NATO troops were added. The initial attack removed the Taliban from power, but Taliban forces have since regained some strength. The war has been less successful in achieving the goal of restricting al-Qaeda's movement. Since its liberation from the Taliban in 2001, Afghanistan has made strides in the political reconstruction process. In 2003, a constitution was drafted, debated, and approved. Presidential elections were held in October 2004, and Parliamentary and provincial elections were held this past Sunday.

Obama’s Next Move in Afghanistan
Lesson 39
On October 7, 2001, military strikes against Afghanistan were launched by the U.S.-led international coalition including Great Britain, Canada, Australia, Germany and France. The attack was military retaliation for the September 11, 2001 attacks. It was the beginning of the war on Terrorism. The stated purpose of the invasion was to capture Osama bin Laden, destroy al-Qaeda, and remove the Taliban regime which had provided support and safe harbor to al-Qaeda, and allow the people of Afghanistan to run their own country.

Afghanistan still faces many challenges before democratic governance is secured. Afghanistan has seen threats to its stability from increased Taliban-led insurgent activity, growing illegal drug production, and a fragile government with limited control outside of Kabul.
The recent opinion shows the American public’s approval/disapproval of President Obama on a series of issues. A strong majority, 59% disapprove of the President’s handling of the situation in Afghanistan.
