Meh, I think voting against that war right after 9/11 would have been seen as worse than wiping your ass with a burning American flag for a US politician. One person did iirc and she got called a traitor and sent death threats (though she kept her seat, so there's that).
The war itself was kind of pointless. I'm not sure what they thought they could accomplish, other than look like they were doing something to combat terrorism. They were never going to turn Afganistan into a functioning democracy any more than they did in Iraq, or in Vietnam for that matter.
