That’s kinda what happened. If there is a country that had anything to do with it, it’s Saudi Arabia, yet the US invaded Afghanistan and called it a day.
The Taliban were hosting Al-Qaida, so there was some reason, if not to invade, then at least to make some incursions. Iraq, on the other hand, was one of the most resolute enemies of Al-Qaida. It turns out that secular totalitarians don’t like religious reactionary totalitarians. But Halliburton wanted all those contracts to rebuild the Iraqi oil industry after it had been bombed.
That’s like if you had the 9/11 pilots saying to just move on
