One goal of U.S. involvement in the war in Afghanistan was to eliminate the Taliban regime and prevent the country from becoming a safe haven for terrorist groups like al-Qaeda. However, a major challenge in achieving this goal was the difficulty of establishing a stable and effective government in Afghanistan, as well as navigating complex ethnic and tribal dynamics within the country.

In the case of the war in Iraq, one goal was to eliminate Saddam Hussein's regime and prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. A significant challenge was the escalation of sectarian violence and insurgency following the invasion, as well as the failure to find evidence of weapons of mass destruction, which undermined the legitimacy of the war in the eyes of many.
