Is the situation in Afghanistan substantially different right now than it was in 1988 when the Soviets left? Would leaving now result in the same situation repeating itself?

Its going to happen no matter what happens there, the American's just like the other nations are leaving and leaving soon, and their government, police and military are full of Taliban and other extreme sympathizers anyways.
Kharzi will be hanging from a flag pole a week after the yanks leave.
Personally, if the government there falls, the American's should simply inform the new government that they are targeting the country with hundreds of nuclear weapons and if a terrorist attack is traced back to them, then Afghanistan ceases to exist.
Ok, I'm exaggerating slightly, but that govenrment is going to fall, and the Western powers can't stay there for ever.
there have been massive failures on the Afghan government side, and the Aemrican's have tossed away all of their good will with the moderate population very quickly.
