The 2001 war in Afghanistan was a war fought by the U.S.-led coalition against al-Qaeda and the Taliban on October 7, 2001, in retaliation for the 9/11 attacks and marked the beginning of the war on terror. Coalition officials say the purpose of the war is to arrest bin Laden and other al-Qaeda members and punish the Taliban for supporting ****. On May 2, 2012, Obama, who was on a surprise visit to Afghanistan, said that the war in Afghanistan was coming to an end.
The Iraq War was a military operation launched against Iraq on March 20, 2003 by a joint force dominated by British and American forces. In essence, it is a war to eliminate the anti-American regime under the pretext of Iraq's refusal to hand over the non-existent biochemical **. Since this war was actually a continuation of the 1990 Gulf War, this war is also known as the "Second Gulf War".
It took more than seven years until the withdrawal of US combat units from Iraq in August 2010, and the US side finally did not find the so-called mass destruction**, but found documents and witnesses that Saddam's regime had already destroyed. On December 18, 2011, all U.S. troops withdrew.

The events of 9/11 became the trigger for the war in Afghanistan.
In the aftermath of 9/11, military forces across the United States were put on maximum alert. Although the Taliban issued a statement saying that the terrorist incident had nothing to do with bin Laden, the United States** still identified bin Laden as the prime suspect in the terrorist attack.
In response to this attack, the United States launched a "war on terror" and on October 7, 2001, George W. Bush announced the beginning of a military offensive against Afghanistan.
20th Anniversary of 911
September 11, 2001. This date is engraved on the marble tablet on the exterior wall of the Pentagon, which echoes the name on the bronze tablet in the National Museum of 9/11 in New York, commemorating the victims of the 911 incident.
On that day 20 years ago, 911, the worst and most dramatic terrorist attack on the United States, broke out. On September 11, 2001, suicide attackers from the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda hijacked four passenger planes, two of which crashed into the Twin Towers, the world's most important commercial building in New York, and the other two into the Pentagon.
Three planes hit their targets, and another crashed near the city of Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The attack killed 2,974 people and 24 are missing.

China's mainstream ** basically did not actively comment on the US-led war on terrorism, but ridiculed the United States for being mired in war, terror and rebellion, and the war on terror outweighed the losses.
