Agreed for the most part.
However, going into Afghanistan was pretty much unavoidable given both the public mood at the time and the fact that Bin Laden was well hidden in an extremely remote region of that country.
But... without the pointless Iraq distraction, we most likely would have found Bin Laden fairly quickly and then been able to evacuate Afghanistan immediately thereafter.
And yes, if Saddam was left in place there would be no ISIS today.
