Personally - I don't buy into that argument. There are no guarantees that staying will acheive anything other than further loss of life - and even if it did - how could that in anyway validate the deaths of so many soldiers, how could it in any way make their deaths worthwhile.

As for the problems with the Taliban - that is for Afghanistan to sort out. Much as I feel for the innocent people of Afghanistan - I do not consider it a cause worth the loss of our men and womens' lives. We have to look after our own!
