I agree with Charlatan in that we are in Afghanistan as part of NATO. NATO holds that if one nation is attacked, we are all attacked and will fight on behalf of the injured party - in this case, the U.S., but the larger picture is that NATO as a whole was attacked by the coalition of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. If we do not honour our commitments to NATO, we should not be part of that organization.
