Hmmm, I don't remember Afghanistan ever asking for help? But even if it did, why aren't other countries who are even worse off that Afghanistan receiving help when they ask for it? Or do they have to be bombed first?
Also, why is it, that when the Taliban where fighting the Soviets, they were helped and praised as heroes, there's even a Rambo movie dedicated to them, despite the fact that all the negative things they brought to their country was still there and when they stopped obeying Uncle Sam, we all of a sudden remembered how bad they are?
But you forgot probably the most important reason as to why these kids wont get to see their families again :
They were send there for all the wrong reasons based on an event whose validity is questionable at best?

"If the world does come to an end here, or wherever, or if it limps into the future, decimated by the effects of religion-inspired nuclear terrorism, let's remember what the real problem was that we learned how to precipitate mass death before we got past the neurological disorder of wishing for it." Bill Maher
