In September of 2001, some Islamic religious zealots hijacked 4 planes, flew 2 of them into the World Trade Center, one went to the U.S. Pentagon and the fourth crashed in an open field when the passangers took over from the zealots. The religious zealots were being trained in Afghanistan and funded by other religious zealots in other parts of the Middle East. The war on Afghanistan was a war against the religious zealots who feel that it's ok to murder. Because after all, they didn't really care who they murdered so long as they could have a hope of furthering their Islamic extremist agenda. They also thought it was ok to die in the name of their Islamic extremist agenda, so why not help them seek their goal and at the same time prevent a few innocent deaths in other parts of the world. The liberation of Afghanistan was essential for a civilized world to continue to exist.
It has nothing to do with terrorism or bringing democracy to Afghanistan, but unfortunately everything to do with its streagict location which would be enormously helpful when the west decides to attack Iran.
It also helps to bring US/NATO to the borders of Russia and China and Pakistan ( the only Muslim country with a nuclear arsenal), and oil riches of central Asian states.
I'm not absolutely sure but you must remember that Britain, America, Turkey, Italy and many more countries are fighting against the Tliban the mostly live there not Afghanistan itself. One reason is 9/11.
The cause of the Afghan war was mainly down to terrorism in the UK and America. Such as 9/11. It also over resources from Afghan and Iraq such as Oil, Which we really need at the moment.
The war in Afghanistan is happening becuse of the tragic attacks on 9/11
