How has Afghanistan come to be at the top of the headlines?



The world's most remote and least developed country has in the last few years taken over the news headlines in the United States. EveR since the mysterious attacks on New York City and Washington D.C. on September 11, 2011, the United States declared war on a shape shifting, ambiguous entity called Al Qaeda, and on a ragtag militia called the Taliban; Supposedly these "two groups" were responsible for the September 11th Attacks. Ever since the re-establishment of "order" in Iraq, and the neutralization of Al Qaeda in Iraq; the attention has now changed to Afghanistan and the focus again to the TALIBAN.




So, we are back to where 'the war on Terror' began; back to the future.
