1 answer

One goal of US involvement in Afghanistan was to eliminate terrorist groups, such as al-Qaeda, and stabilize the country to prevent it from becoming a safe haven for terrorists. However, a challenge was the complexity of Afghan politics and the inability to fully eradicate the Taliban, which continued to regain strength and control in certain regions.

In Iraq, one of the goals was to remove Saddam Hussein from power and establish a democratic government. A challenge faced was the sectarian violence between different ethnic and religious groups in the country, leading to significant instability and hindering efforts to establish a unified and effective government.
