At the time, just after September 11, 2001, it certainly was. The US had to strike somewhere...the American public demanded it. That attack was fairly emotional for US citizens; especially citizens living back east (read New York).
At the time, US Intel ID'd Afghanistan as a probable AO (Area of Operation). It was a good guess; but US Special Operations (etc. etc. etc.) that are (or were) built to deal with those problems were not as experienced as they used to be during the cold war era. Relying too much on "whiz bang bells and whistles" hi-tech toys, and new politically motivated (and politically correct) military leaders who just wanted "JOB SECURITY" and not get the job done (kill the enemy and go home) has resulted in nothing...but being in Afghanistan (job security).
Bottom line; what started out as a noble cause, has turned into "just a steady pay-check" for the participants.
