No, we didn't have to go into Afghanistan. We had to keep Saudis out of the US. Keep in mind Obama was hiding out in Pakistan, a country we were allied with.
Our foreign policy is so messed up.
What? We're supposed to ignore what happened on 9/11? Do you have Alzheimer's? The Taliban was protecting Bin Laden and Al Qaeda.
