Then you stop exploiting the poorer nations & again bingo, you'll get far less animosity from them. You'll also have an improvement in your own industry. All you have to do now is stop being so greedy & leave other people to do their own thing & guess what ? A lot less conflict & a cleaner environment. I know a lot of ordinary people who can see the merit in this. It's only the expert who're alway looking for the most difficult tactic to solve problems. Why, because most of them are so highly educated that they can't understand that to be wise you don't have to be educated.
Leaving Afghanistan will only have consequences in Afghanistan if we don't put our greed into the equation. To let the relatives of potential terrorists migrate to all parts of the western world is like trying to stop a plague of crow-of-thorns starfish which become even more prolific after you cut them to pieces & scatter them. One one hand we go into Afghanistan to fight terrorism & on the other hand we import it by the boatload. You aid the Afghans by helping them rebuild their country not by proliferating them & their problems throughout the world. The answer is containment.
