Today we reviewed the Canada Map. Then we talked about blog discussions again.
Taliban is based in Afghanistan. Started in the 80s because the soviet invasion. They gained strength as time went on. They were involved in a civil war for power in the country. They got about 90% of Afghanastan. After 5 years US invaded and took them down from government. Mula Mahamad Omar was the leader during that five year time.
Some highlight and lowlight in war at afghanastan. We invaded in 2001 a month after the 9/11. We helped raise their lifespan from 41 to 61. We also took the Taliban out of power and Created a democracy. Lowlights were that some did not want the war. Bush left many troops and a "mess" for Obama. Bush put more focus on Iraq, when people thought it should be Afghanistan.
Obama wants all troops out by 2014. We are sending them supplies and are setting up schools for them.
