I say America should quietly pack there bags and go home..

That whole region is a mess, get out as quickly as possible without leaving a blood bath. Maybe go into the mountains have a chat with the Taliban and come up with some solution which involves having a little tolerance of different cultures or we blow you up til thy kingdom comes... Any peace deal will do as long as there is not a blood bath.. Taliban want US out of Afghanistan more the US want to leave. What keeping them there now is protecting the people who backed them and thus not creating a new army of terrorists... Bribery on all sides seems a pretty good solution...

IMHO, that's an extremely dangerous view. As someone (forgot who was being interviewed) on NPR said this morning - Pakistan is a country of 200 million people with a large nuclear arsenal - it is too big to fail. We cannot afford to allow that nuclear arsenal to fall into the wrong hands, and if Pakistan collapses (it is perpetually on the verge), such a thing is quite likely.
