So many reasons floated around: oil, military ind. complex, protection of allies, Cold War never ended, desire to spread democracy.
Which of these are actually true?

Jesus you can really tell /lit/ is just a bunch of zoomers. We attacked Afghanistan as revenge for 9/11, and we attacked Iraq because America's lust for blood was not sated by the highly successful invasion of Afg. We needed Fallujah and the imagery it generated to quench the American public. We didn't fight for geopolitics (although that of course motivated some intellectuals), but because we wanted to.

It has everything to do with people who did not watch the second plane hit the tower. America shifted on its axis, literally every single cultural figure from every side stood with America, the presidents approval rating shot up, and US special forces were on the ground in a matter of days. It may have turned into many things, but the Afghan war was what America wanted.

What does this mean. Like, I mean, truly, what is this explanation trying to say, what legs dors it stand on? Because it explains nothing, is an empty statement, but is the rallying cry of every worthless degenerate from /pol/ and the like. It encapsulates their total vacuousness in thought, in nuance, in critical decisionmaking, in their ability to honestly see the world in which they live and breathe. You need more of a thesis than this.

There is evil in the world.
If given the opportunity, it will grow in strength and power.
The only thing that can stop evil is people willing to stand and fight and sacrifice to destroy it.
When there is no will to fight, evil will win.
Innocent people will suffer.
Darkness will expand.
But there are people who do have the will to fight.
They will never surrender to the tyranny of evil.
I served with many of these men and women.
The battle is fraught with blood and tears.
Failure and defeat.
Anguish and loss.
But the good and brave souls will hold the line and, in the end:
Righteousness will prevail.
FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.

There is no evil in the world.
Even if given the opportunity, it will not grow in strength and power.
There are many things that can stop evil other than people willing to stand and fight and sacrifice to destroy it.
Even when there is no will to fight, evil will not win.
Innocent people will not suffer.
Darkness will not expand.
And there are no people who have the will to fight.
They will sometimes surrender to the tyranny of evil.
I didn't serve with many of these men and women.
The battle is not fraught with blood and tears.
Neither failure nor defeat.
Nor anguish and loss.
But the good and brave souls will not hold the line and, in the end:
Righteousness will not prevail.
