Isabel Debre May 01, 2021 - 3:08 AM DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Americaâs longest war, the two-decade-long conflict in Afghanistan that started in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, killed tens of thousands of people, dogged four U.S. presidents and ultimately proved unwinnable despite its staggering cost in blood and treasure.
