Iraq invasion happened because the US (and UK) governments convinced themselves that Saddam Hussein had "weapons of mass destruction" that could launch in "45 minutes".

Afganistan invasion happened when everyone was so enraged by 9/11 they weren't thinking straight. "Never forget" was a thing for around a decade.
