Afghanistan and Iraq are two totally different animals. Afghanistan has gone MUCH more smoothly than Iraq. Our losses in Afghanistan are much less than Iraq.
I can guarantee you if we faced the type of insurgency we have in Iraq people on the TV would be screaming that we shouldn't have invaded Afghanistan either.

The War Against Afghanistan lost its' legitimacy the moment it became nation building and the US government allied itself with the major narcotics producers in the country. Further, the Taliban still controls most of Afghanistan, meaning that the Bush'ists have been a failure there as well. Not to mention the glaringly obvious fact that Bin Laden was allowed to escape.
Of course, Iraq has been one continuous war crime. In that regard, only, the two military adventures are different.
