One goal of the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan was to dismantle and defeat the Taliban regime that harbored terrorist organizations, particularly Al-Qaeda. However, the challenge of achieving this goal proved difficult due to the complex political and social dynamics in the region, as well as the lack of a centralized enemy to defeat.
In Iraq, one goal of the U.S. involvement was to remove Saddam Hussein from power and establish a democratic government. However, the challenge of achieving this goal was the rise of sectarian violence and insurgency that emerged in the power vacuum left after Hussein's removal. This led to a prolonged and costly conflict that lasted for years.
