      I don't think anyone has ever been able to conquer Afganistan. But why were they there is an easy question untapped mineral wealth, hubris, and a little bit of missplaced revenge.

      Has any other country other than Iraq and Afganistan ever been invaded for the stated claim of terrorism? Only other actions I can think of have been more limited in scope and sometimes come with an invitation from the country the terroist cell is residing.
