No, we had good reason to go there. The mistake was staying without an effective plan in place.

If the goal was to keep Afghanistan semi peaceful, we had a plan, it was to keep less than 5,000 troops in Afghanistan to keep the peace and keep the territory out of enemy hands.
We shouldn't have occupied it at all after Bin Laden left and certainly not after he died. The cultures of that area of the world are centuries behind The West. It's drop dead funny to see woke folks defending a culture that is so far to the right. The Democrats and the left continue to be exposed as complete frauds.
