I'll give the short version due to apparent lack of interest.
Giving up now will result in exactly the same situation that happened in Afghanistan when the Soviets up and ran. The extremist nutcases bullied their way into power and launched a terror campaign against the rest of the world.
If we let the insane zealots do their own thing (like we did for most of the 90's) there will be an attack that will make Sept 11 2001 look like a Sunday School picnic.
