Why is NATO in afganistan?

Answer 1

This is from the official NATO website (http://www.nato.int)... "NATO's main role in Afghanistan is to assist the Afghan Government in exercising and extending its authority and influence across the country, paving the way for reconstruction and effective governance. It does this predominately through its UN-mandated International Security Assistance Force. Since NATO took command of ISAF in 2003, the Alliance has gradually expanded the reach of its mission, originally limited to Kabul, to cover Afghanistan's whole territory. The number of ISAF troops has grown accordingly from the initial 5,000 to around 50.000 troops coming from 42 countries, including all 28 NATO members." (see link below for full text)

No N.A.T.O is not involved in the Afghan war.

Answer 2

Well after the Fall of USSR , there was a talk between NATO that should they dissolve too , but they didn't ! but they talked about the modern world, they say that the enemy is using new technologies to harm our population and our territory, so the NATO must change its law too. We will still defend our lands and people but now we kill the enemy in their own land before it reaches our land ! " Al quad " for ex, it need to be stopped before they get hands over Nuclear weapons !
