First, Europe has troops in Afghanistan.
We agreed on removing the Taliban and the UN gave its go-ahead.

The big difference is Iraq.

You just cannot invade a country without a good reason. Like Iraq being a threat to its neighbours and the world.
Sorry, but the rest of the world saw no evidence.

Removing Saddam? International law doesn't consider this legitimate to justify the invasion.

Therefore, the US administration used tricks to justify the war, just like dictators did, throughout history, to justify invasions they initiated.

But why can' the US just leave now?

The first and foremost reason (the one perhaps citizens outside of the US can better understand) is that it would look like defeat and be much too humiliating to the US.
But look at all the savings you could do!
