" international conflict in Afghanistan beginning in 2001 that was triggered by the September 11 attacks..."This quote shows that the war was started by the 9/11 attacks. After these actions America was shocked and confused. America lost many lives from these terrorist attacks and President George W Bush, the president at that time realized that these terrorist actions were made by the Taliban and decided to send our troops to Afghanistan, to find the leaders who caused the atrocities in America. America captured Saddam Hussein on December 13,2003, and turned him in to the Afghanistan military, where he would later get hanged because of his past crimes against humanity. American Navy Seals killed Osama Bin Laden on May 2, 2011. President Obama got hints that Osama was in Pakistan and the Navy Seals went in a carried out the mission to kill Osama Bin Laden.
There was a feeling that America had to fight back when terrorists killed thousands of civilians in the terrorist attack known as 9/11. America did not want to look weak and did not want to get picked on, America also lost a big factor in their economic power house, the world trade center. They also tried to kill President Bush but the passengers on the plane heading to the white house stopped them from attacking it. The war topic that is easily shown is loss all throughout this war. Many lives were lost and also the world trade center was lost in this atrocious incident, on top of all of the buildings in Afghanistan that were destroyed during the war.America ended up looking more like the victor in this war, even though no country wins in a war because many lives were lost on both sides.

I did 9/11 as my conflict and would agree that this is important. I also chose loss as my topic. I would say that are conflicts are pure examples of loss.
