The US started bombing Afghanistan in August 1998 during the Clinton administration. This was part of "Operation Infinite Reach" announced by President Clinton. It was a response to recent terrorist operations on the part of groups suspected to be connected with Bin Laden.

Why is the US still involved in both Iraq and Afghanistan?

Attack on soil on September 11,2001. 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 9/11 and that he was being harbored in Afghanistan by the Taliban. After many failed attempts to negotiate a turn over of bin laden to the US, the US finally launched formal attack on Afghanistan and more precisely the Taliban.
