We are in Afghanistan helping them fight a “War on Terror” against the Taliban. We messed up their Afghan government, so it’s the least we can do.  This war has lasted long enough. We should send the troops home now, and let the neighboring countries of Afghanistan pitch in.  The U.S should most definitley take into consideration the public’s opinion because they have family members in Afghanistan, and are affected as well.  We can’t be one hundred percent sure of when we have won or lost the war because the Taliban have children that can carry on their beliefs, and then what.  If we try to make some sort of treaty or compromise, how are we going to be able to trust if they won’t turn on us. But naturally we could know if we won if the Taliban surrendered or want to make a compromise.  We will know if we lost if we surrender, meaning the troops that have died died for nothing.  Also, obviously we will know if we lost this war when most a lot or all of our troops have died. My solution to the war is since the Afghan government already wants us gone and so does the U.S public, then we should leave.  But if they end up needing our help again, we shouldn’t go because it’s to much money time and confusion.
