The question has to be what could you have done worse.
Lets see what we hav now in Afghanistan and what you wanted to achieve:

you wanted to:
- capture Osama and destroy the Al Kaida
- Destroy the Taliban and free Afghanistan

at this time a have failed to capture Osama, a lot of AlKaida/ Taliban fighters have fled to pakistan and other nations.
The Taliban goverment is gone (hurray!) but is replaced with a leader who has nothing to say. The Warlords are ruling the land, again. The people are still not free and there is no sign of something like democracy.

The USA has repeated a lot of old errors:
They have used Assholes (The warlord) to overthrow the taliban and now the USA are wondering why the assholes are acting like assholes. The USA has done that before (Iraq, Afghanistan). Additionally the USA entered the War without a plan what to do after the war, just like they did now in the Iraq (as Salman Pax, the iraqi webblogger said "try and error with a whole nation?"). They killed a lot f cilvillians and they only result will be that people will hate the USA even more.

So now youre telling me that the war in afghanistan was a success?
