It wasn't our grief that justified Afghanistan, it was that the government there supported and hosted a group that attacked us. And that much at least is pretty similar to what is happening in Gaza, where the de facto government is Hamas. No one thinks Hamas is a legitimate government, but not many people thought that the Taliban was either. Both are a bunch of nihilist thugs who took power by force and will not give it up willingly.

But Afghanistan is not urban like Gaza is, and the Taliban did not hide in the cities, but rather melted into the countryside. So we didn't have the same impetus to level Kabul or Herat or Mazar-i-Sharif.
