As I see it, Ghost and RMII have failed to answer my question in any meaningful way.

-Kill the extremists and defeat the guerilla armies of the Taliban and other groups.
-Reinforce and support the government so that it can survive on its own.
-Build up the infrastructure of Afghanistan and get the people's support on the government's side.
What is the point of doing all this (even if you could), given the harm you're doing yourself in the process? What's your goal??

The U.S. military and coalition forces are attempting to dismantle these underground Taliban/Al Qaeda networks that are working on the 'next attack', and the others after that.
What has any of this got to do with Afghanistan? Complete answer please.
