Afghanistan was more justifiable. The argument was that it was a failed government that housed a terrorist organization that just attacked US.
What Iraq had to with it, i honestly have no idea. Somehow we pivotted from Afghanistan to Iraq
Maybe (and this is a big maybe) at the beginning. However, it really went to show how ineffective such actions are and lead to the creation of ISIS. 20 years of occupation were wholly unjustified.
The right move by the US would have been to kill osama the way they ultimately did, through intelligence gathering and a targeted strike.
