America lost the war and that's a sting to our pride, but we're out of danger. The Taliban won't be stupid enough to attack us again knowing they suffer years of war and territorial losses as a result.

Also, don't forget that America's army was:
A) fighting two simultaneous wars in two different countries
B) comprised entirely of volunteer entries

If the Taliban attacked us again, we would have every right to draft as many eligible people as we needed to crush them. And it would be one on one this time. (No sending troops to Iraq.) I think even the majority of antiwar individuals would realize that, if the Taliban attacks us again, they won't let up until we're under Sharia Law.

And that is exactly why the Taliban won't attack us again. It's better to be feared and revered in their surrounding areas as the country that defeated America than it is invite their demise with another attack.
