So Afghanistan reverts to it's previous government.
It was controlled by the Taliban before Bush attacked them for refusing to hand over Bin Laden.
They were dispicable back then but were not a threat to the US.
This just shows how futile it is to attempt nation building. Countries have to work things out for themselves for good or bad.
We may need to defend ourselves at times but we should not try to impose our views and values on other cultures. That just makes it more painful for everyone when it reverts to it's previous state.
