It is true we can't fix the world. But I would hate to see Afglhanistan go right back to being a safe harbor for terrorists. And what will happen to the progress made on women's rights. There are pleanty of Afghanies whom want us to stay for protection from the Taliban. But it is true, we also at the same time can't stay there forever. Right now China, posturing over Taiwan, Russia and Iran are threats too.
If the US didn't want Afghanistan to be a safe harbour for terrorists, then it shouldn't have gone in in thr first place. The Taliban were as against al-Qaeda as the West was, and actovely combatting them.
I remember when Bin Laden fought the Russians in Afghanistan. The Taliban didn't want the Russians there either.
