Please Note that the invasion of Afghanistan was undertaken by an INTERNATIONAL force lead by the Americans.

The invasion was ordered/sanctioned by the UNITED NATIONS (after a vote) because it was clear that the Taliban who were the government in Afghanistan were sheltering and supporting Al-Qaeda. The Al-Qaeda training camps and headquarters were in Afghanistan and so was Osama bin Laden.

After the Al-Qaeda atrocity on the US on 9/11 the organization and training camps had to be removed and as the Taliban would not do this, they needed to be removed and the people of Afghanistan given the opportunity to set out on the path of democratic self government.
