The nation of Islam doesn't recognize the borders between the different countries that make up the middle east. Instead ... it views the entire middle east as one nation which should properly be under the government of the one and only true faith.

The US military bases we left in the region after WW2 & the Gulf War have been a constant source of irritation for them. That's why they declared jihad, attacked the USS Cole, US embassies, and ultimately the Twin Towers of 9/11.

Invading Afghanistan was not a wise choice on our part. See ... within the Muslim faith there are all these different factions. The two biggest are the Sunni & Shea. When left to their own devices they will fight amongst themselves over which particular type of the Muslim faith is the correct one. When faced with a common enemy like an invading ( Christian) America they will temporarily set aside their differences to ward off the foe.

Our presence there created chaos and disrupted the balance of powers in the region. The withdrawal of our military created opportunities for the different factions of the Muslim faith to rush in and seize control.



That's exactly what they're doing right now. They're back to fighting amongst themselves for control of the region.
