The recent end to US military presence in Afghanistan will hopefully, eventually prove to be a good thing. It is debatable whether the move into Afghanistan was ever warranted. Its continuation, even after Bin Laden was killed is certainly questionable.

However, in passing judgment on perceived injustice and/or crimes, it is generally, (I believe) accepted by the fair minded, that both motivation and the need to balance the negative results of inaction as compared with those of action ought to be considered, particularly where harm to life and limb is at stake.
