The Taliban was never in Iraq. It was formerly the governing authority in Afghanistan (1991-2001) and is now a rebel group that controls territory in some of southeast Afghanistan and the northwest Pakistan region of Waziristan.

Does iraq have country called taliban?

No. There are two mistakes in the wording here: (1) The Taliban are not a country and (2) the Taliban are not present in Iraq. What is likely being asked about here is ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) which is a terrorist-militant controlled territory in rebellion against the Iraqi government in Baghdad.For more clarity on these points see below.(1) Taliban are Not a Country: The Taliban are a specific political Islamist Party/Militant Organization. The Taliban has certain political aims: the control of Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan. The Taliban also were able to hold national control in Afghanistan and ruled it according to some of the most barbaric interpretations of Shari'a Law. As a result, they spread out through national channels such as police and justice departments. The Taliban, consequently, has very limited aims that came in direct contravention of American interests only in 2001 when the United States invaded Afghanistan. The Taliban, while supporting Al-Qaeda, were not (prior to 2001) interested in the latter's goal of attacking and Islamicizing the West. They are still opposed to exerting resources to achieve these goals, but do focus their efforts on removing the Northern Alliance government of Afghanistan and leading that country again.(2) Taliban are Not in Iraq: Simply put, the Taliban are a localized group and because their aims are political control in Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan, they are not in Iraq.(3) ISIL in Iraq: ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant), known as ad-Dawla al-Eslamiyya al-3iraaq w'ash-Shaam or the acronym Daa3esh in Arabic, is an extremist Sunni Islamist organization which used to have links to al-Qaeda before al-Qaeda condemned them for their barbarity. They are fighting to bring the Sunni majority into power, especially in Sunni majority regions of both Syria and Iraq, and impose a more fundamentalist view on politics. They consider themselves to be fighting the injustices and violence of the current Assad regime and the inequalities of the US-supported Government of Iraq. ISIL is primarily supported and armed by Saudi Arabia, but the US and UK have indirectly given ISIL millions of dollars and equipment since US and UK military vehicles and assets left to the Government of Iraq have fallen into ISIL hands (especially with the fall of Mosul). ISIL controls significant amounts of land in Syria and Iraq and conquered much of its Iraqi territory in June 2014.

What was the reason why Iraq at tact the world trade center?

Iraq did no such thing. The attacks were carried out by an organization called the Taliban. This is a groupd of religious Muslim extreamest who kill in the name of their god. This is a rouge organization and is not hosted or supported by the country of Iraq. The Taliban's reason for attacking the towers was to bring death to the infidel (western civilization). Edit: I'm sorry to tell that also the Taliban did no such thing. The Taliban were and are a group of Muslim extremists, but they were reigning Afghanistan. The Attacks were in fact carried out by Members of the Al Qaida, a decentralised network of also Muslim extremists. When the USA invaded Afghanistan, their reason was that the Taliban gave home to Al Qaida members in their country, hence the misunderstanding.

What countries in Asia are the Americans at war with?

North Korea is the only one currently. No peace agreement was ever reached - only a ceasefire. We're not at war with Afghanistan - just with the Taliban, and Iraq has been reduced to a policing and support operation.
