I vote a conditional yes. I'm thinking that the Taliban has been sufficiently weakened to the point where NATO and Afghan forces can handle the bulk of the necessary operations, but we'll have to see what happens this spring/summer. The Taliban has announced that fightin' season has commenced.

What we should avoid is mission creep that turns this into an extension of the drug war.

NATO is us though. Now if the UN cared about Afghanistan and was willing to help out, that would be a different story.
