I think the reason is that the whole region needed a tune up.
Twin Towers was an act of war.
Flushing out the whole sump required then current US political unison and US bucks.
Afg. was a routine sweep without expecting to get paid back for expenses for a very long time. I'd invest in the 1st company to lay fiber optic thru the whole country/easy someday.
But the very early Bush push for cleaning Iraq was seriously determined in US Congress by the bottom line costs. So the
"bully pulpit" was used to manipulate the bottom line costs much lower so it was more acceptable.
So I think now is the time for the Coalition to get paid for expenses.
The US recovering expenses is more complicated than a country like Poland. IMHO, Poland is a business dynamo waiting to happen. and Polands ROI will a big bang.
Whereas the US ROI will be in a long term favorable business/job/ education/ US vacations environment in the middle east.
and democracys never become involved in a killing war among themselves
