Not just for now, it's the best decision the US government has made since 1973 Vietnam War withdrawal. Not one, but _three_ superpowers were defeated in Afghanistan: Britain, USSR and the US. You can't win a land war against insurgents who are spread out, have religious zeal about their fight, and don't mind dying. Or to be more precise you can, but you'd have to raze everything to the ground and kill everyone, which, while doable, does not seem like a good idea in this day and age.
