The US retaliated for an attack on US soil on September 11, 2001. It was that but even deeper. The reason the US went to war in Afghanistan was because it was established globally that Bin Laden was behind the attack on the US on 9/11 and that he was being harboured in Afghanistan by the Taliban. After many failed attempts to negotiate a turn over of Bin Laden to the US, the US finally launched a formal attack on Afghanistan and more precisely, the Taliban. (see the related link below)
