The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have killed at least 500,000 people, according to a report that breaks down the toll

Daniel Brown and Azmi Haroun Updated Aug 26, 2022, 7:57 PM
 
In the 76 countries in which the US is currently fighting terrorism, at least three have been incredibly deadly: Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

And as the US pullout from Afghanistan nears the one year mark, Brown University's Costs of War Project report details just how deadly they've been. It counts how many people have been killed by the "United States' post-9/11 wars" in these three countries, along with others.

The report accounts for deaths in Afghanistan and Pakistan between October 2001 and October 2018, and in Iraq between March 2003 and September 2021.

In October 2001, the US invaded Afghanistan to defeat the al-Qaeda and the Taliban, and 20 years later, on August 30, 2021, the US completed a chaotic withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan as the Taliban regained full control of the country.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

So the moral to the story is that is you harbor terrorists and allow them to carry out attacks around the world, there will be hell to pay. 

Don't want to catch hell, the secure your borders and adopt the rule of law.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

We never did pursue the financiers of terror - the Saudi's, the UAE, Iran, and Pakistan - current and future nulear nations.

Yep..."W" stands for Whupped. (From the political perspective)

Honestly, we haven't had a great decison making POTUS since RWR.  And that is a bad losing streak.
