Not exactly pointless;
It allowed the US and UK to be seen to be doing something after the terrorist strikes on the twin Towers etc.
It also turned peoples focus on overseas affairs as opposed to problems at home.
Plus it now provides US forces more overseas bases to jump from, into other countries should future US foreign policy dictate.
