Not a lot of depth as to why America is in Afghanistan

Americans are fighting a people that make the Martins and the McCoys look like choir boys with short memories. Their way of life is vendetta against anyone who they conceive has wronged them. They have created enough enemies to keep them busy for the forseable future. America needs this war to keep its industrio-military complex going. I've heard an estimate that a tenth of all the salary dollars in America depends on 'defense' spending. I wonder where their next war will be. They must be searching for one as it seems likely that Iraq and Afganistan will be exited. Perhaps they will simply try to stretch these ones out.
