Its a bit late for that, no? It hardly seems fair to me to invade a territory tens of thousands of kilometres away, overthrow their (admittedly horrific) state, and then just abandon them to anarchy and chaos. No, I disagree. It was a big decision to join the intervention in Afghanistan, and now (morally) we need to see it through somehow (after tens of thousands of Afghans have died.)
