No, what they chose was to reject the western ideals that are leading to it's collapse. They rejected western control over their future.
The only other option was the Taliban, which granted is not great, but better than what the west was pushing. The US has more failed states under it's belt than it does successes. Hard to believe they were actually trying to help given the track record and the past 20 years.

I believe that if we had not stabbed them in the back during desert storm and instead took out Saddam as we promised Bin Laden could have risen as a fairly progressive (for lack of a better term) leader in the middle east.
