Americans in power cannot seem to understand what any historian would tell you: Afghanistan did not attack the US. The 9/11 attacks were not planned in Afghanistan, but in Europe. The war in Afghanistan hasn't been against terrorism since Bin Laden and co fled weeks and months after the 2001 attacks. Instead the US is fighting as an external invader against an enemy, vile as they may be, but an enemy fighting for their country. Staying there won't bring a victory. Staying there won't prevent further attacks against the US. The only reason the US stays there is pride, and the lack of a phoney 'honourable' exit strategy, like they found in Vietnam. That, and endless war is good for the military industrial complex.
