Because no one else would have either.
The world changed after 9/11.
Why didn't the first Bush go into Iraq and take out Saddam? Because he didn't want to stay there for 5 years (that was how long his military advisors estimated it would take to go from house to house through Baghdad)
Before 9/11 we never saw other countries as a real threat to us, because we're bordered on the east and west by vast oceans.
9/11 changed everything, if it wasn't for that even this Bush wouldn't be doing this and he would have zero public support for it if he did.
