The war on Afghanistan was in response to Saudi Arabia attacking the US on 9/11. As Obama’s released documents showed, the US government knew that it was Saudi Arabia, but likely due to business reasons, Bush/Cheney decided to attack other Middle Eastern countries for their oil instead and call it a War on Terror ™.

We’ve known for quite some time that our adventurism in the Middle East (and elsewhere) is among the biggest drivers of terrorism.
