Except Afghanistan was a direct threat. You know where Osama was given refuge and planned 9/11 from, trained from, recruited from? Oh...right, Afghanistan.
Of course the country itself isn't the threat as a nation, but its militarized factions running rampant with near impunity, are.
The idea that "leave that country and the terrorism will stop at once" is wholly laughable and your grasp on the situation is made readily apparent.
