True, theother choice, besides getting out, was to just keep doing what we've been doing for the last 20 years for another 20 years and hope things will be different. I note that Albert Einstein once said "/Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results/.”
There are also other ways of staying. In theory we could have colonized Afghanistan. I'm not sure where we'd get colonists willing to go there; maybe like Britain colonized Australia. There aren't that many Afghans so it would have been possible in a generation or two to simply overwhelm and absorb them. It would certainly have had interesting geopolitical consequences to have a U.S. territory or state with borders on Iran, China, and Pakistan.
