Afghanistan was not an offensive NATO operation (being a direct response to an attack on a NATO member), and was supported by a unanimous UNSC Resolution (1368).

NATO never conducted an offensive operation in Iraq, though some NATO members (separate from the alliance) did.

Though Taliban didn't attack US. Also, was there any NATO due process for this?

I think that resolution said nothing about invasion into Afghanistan..
