Went over the Canada maps, finishing up blog discussions.
Taliban- based out of Afghanistan/Pakistan. A war broke out with Afghanistan and Soviet Union, after Afghanistan won the Taliban got power. The Taliban and Al Qaeda are sort of mixed together, they are both terrorists groups.
Highlights of Bush- 2001 invasion of Afghanistan. In the invasion and after awhile the Taliban lost power.
Lowlights- Bush left a lot of soldiers in Afghanistan and it left Obama in a bad spot. During Obama's election in 2008 he said that the focus is going to be on the Afghanistan war. If he wanted to do that then more and more troops would keep going in and dying.
The war in Iraq- Iraq and Afghanistan went to war with each other and the U.S supported Iraq. The U.S supplied Iraq with guns, weapons, and other supplies. Saddam Hussein was the leader of Iraq, he was known for gassing his own people. The U.S captured him in 2003 and put him on trial for what he did. 3 years later he was hung for gassing his own people.
