It isn't too late, they already live in the stone age so they won't miss much.
I'm certainly not impressed where we've ended up in the war on terror or how we've handled the many aspects of this. I also was a serious critic of Bush. However, it's interesting hat it has come to light so many years later that the architect of the 9/11 actually credited the war in Afghanistan with being a contributing factor to no follow up attacks in the US following 9/11.

If people want to fight you, you can either let them pick the battlefield or you can choose it. Personally, I would always rather fight on someone else's homeland. The inevitable collateral damage is better as far away from my family as possible. Our nation is pretty good at projecting our power when we have the resolve to do so.
But make no mistake; there are people out there who want to fight us and they would choose to bring that fight into our homes.
This is myopic because it still sees the entity of Al Qaeda as a phenomenon rather than an essential offshoot of Traditional Islam; Islam is the problem. Taking out Al Qaeda is like cutting a head off of Hydra. One has to go for the immortal head. In the context of Islam that would be Mecca, primarily. I'm unaware of anything in Islamic eschatology which would account for the complete destruction of Mecca. The 5 pillars of Islam include the Hajj. Take away Mecca, you take away a pillar of Islam, and Islam's immortal head is sealed in its wound by radioactive glass. It simply dies, because nothing in its confession accounts for such a thing to occur. It would be the same blow to Christianity if one were to discover, with beyond doubt proof, the body of Jesus Christ (cf. 1 Cor 15:14). Al Qaeda is largely passe now. But ISIS and its offshoots? More heads. But I just keep coming back to the thought of what would happen if Mecca became glass, Medina became glass, and Riyadh became glass. I'm not arguing for the wanton murder of millions, either. I say give them a week to vacate. And then blow the ever living crap out of it. No more Islam -- it would be metaphysically impossible for them to continue without their stupid little black rock they all circle around once a year.
Additionally, Afghanistan itself was a lost war from the beginning not because of Al Qaeda per se, but because Afghanistan cannot be had by outsiders. No one has pacified Afghanistan but the Afghans. Not Alexander the Great, Soviet Russia, and certainly not our feckless attempts.

In the movie, they say thats all war is. If you say otherwise, youre either in on it or naive.
