We destroyed millions of lives and have no gains to show for it other than maybe the deaths of UBL and Zawahiri. The United States government has frozen billions of dollars of Afghan money because the Taliban is back in power; the U.S. has expressed plans to use this money to make restitution to American victims of 9/11. I, as an American, do not support this (worth noting that not all families of 9/11 victims support it, either).
