Osama didn't brought any country's name tag with him, Osama in Afghanistan didn't meant Saudi's taking over Afghanistan. So when I talked about 'Afghan's not liking outsiders', it meant countries invading Afghanistan. It was true for Soviet's now true for America, why is it so hard for you understand. Anyways, feel like I am wasting my time. GL to you, Trump and US, make America great Again lewl.
You have wasted your time -- because I know what I am talking about.
Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, as one, was a belligerent. Against who? US. And that make US the other belligerent in a conflict.

CHAPTER I
THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF NEUTRAL POWERS
Article 1. The territory of neutral Powers is inviolable.
Yes, this is true. If a Power claimed neutrality, its territory must not be trespassed by any belligerent.
Art. 2. Belligerents are forbidden to move troops or convoys of either munitions of war or supplies across the territory of a neutral Power.
Here is where Afghanistan, under Mullah Omar, violated common sense and rendered Article 1 impotent.
Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda were permitted by Omar to use Afghanistan as a base for recruitment, training, and replenishment of its combatants. In doing so, Mullah Omar made Afghanistan a biased participant in a conflict. Articles 2, 3, and 4 were likewise permitted by Mullah Omar.
Art. 5. A neutral Power must not allow any of the acts referred to in Articles 2 to 4 to occur on its territory.
Afghanistan failed to live up to its responsibilities under Article 5. By allowing Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda to use Afghanistan per articles 2-4, Mullah Omar made Afghanistan an ally of Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda.
The Geneva Convention merely formalized these common sense items. These ideas have been around long before our respective countries came to be.
In this thread, we were mocked that today we 'begged' the Taliban for negotiations. I find it funny.
If I plead with you on an issue for one or two yrs, that is reasonable. But we did not plead with Mullah Omar for 1, 2, or even 3 yrs, which would have been more than reasonable, instead, we begged Mullah Omar
FOR TEN F*CKING YRS to stop supporting Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda
ON AFGHANISTAN SOIL.
We were far more than reasonable, pal.
Each US presidential term is 4-yrs. That mean our begging of Mullah Omar spanned two presidential administrations. This is why no one, not even the Muslim world, sympathized with Mullah Omar and Afghanistan after Sept 11, 2001. Do you really believe that Mullah Omar was ignorant of what Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda were when it comes to US?
We asked Mullah Omar to hand over bin Laden, but not one millisecond did we expect that to happen. Instead, we also asked Omar to simply eject Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda out of Afghanistan and we will take it from there. Ten yrs is a long time to beg someone to do something. The world's most powerful country -- the US -- begged an impoverished and backward Afghanistan for ten yrs to do that something.
Afghanistan do not like 'outsiders'? Tough shit. Should not have gotten involved with Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda in the first place.
So yes, you have wasted your time on this issue. You simply do not know as much and as deep as you think you do.
Taliban offered to trial / handover UBL, but that (UBL) was neither the reason for USA to go to war with Afghanistan nor in the fit in their plans.
Osama bin Laden was Mullah Omar's brother-in-law.
Never mind the silly oil pipeline theory. What was it about Afghanistan that we wanted so badly? Nothing. There was, and still is, nothing in Afghanistan worth to invade. Oil? Women? Gold?
I heard from an unofficial source, that Trump is overruling previous policy and is now looking to bring American companies to mine and cultivate whatever minerals and resources they can get, as he wants to atleast get something in return for the war.
And I heard from an unofficial source that Trump want to make Afghanistan -- not Puerto Rico -- our 51st state. I also heard from the same unofficial source that Trump reverted to Islam.
