Which one? The Soviets invaded in 1979, and the country's pretty much seen constant fighting ever since.

As for the current war in Afghanistan, the al-Qaeda branch based in Afghanistan attacked the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, killing almost 3000 people. The Taliban supported al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, so the US responded by attacking the Taliban. The Americans had the support of the Northern Alliance, the internationally recognized government of Afghanistan at the time. The Northern Alliance would only support the operation if the US promised to stay and restore order after the Taliban had been ousted.
