It was a war, declared by a stateless enemy, that respected none of the 'bounds' of 'legitimate' war, even.
Kerry was right in 2004 when he said, and I'm paraphrasing, that terrorism should be dealt with mostly as a law enforcement issue, only in extreme, judicious specific cases militarily. Clearly, invading, say, Iraq was not a reasonable response to a terrorist attack that had nothing to do with Iraq. The logic for invading Afghanistan was more sound, only in that not just OBL but a significant amount of Al Qaeda apparatus was in Afghanistan at the time. Note this does not de facto justify a 10 year occupation, however.
