Our goal with Iraq was to ensure Iraq didn't invade Kuwait or threaten Saudi Arabia. This goal has been accomplished.
Our goal with Afghanistan was to capture Bin Laden, and ensure al-Qaeda no longer had a "base" there. In the process we had to remove the Taliban from government. This goal was also accomplished.
These two countries are no longer a threat.
