War in Afghanistan and the Taliban

I think that we can win the war in Afghanistan against the taliban. But we have to be committed as a country to our plan. I think that the biggest enemy to our military right now is the people in our own country who don't want to use it. If we went in the Afghanistan and just said we not ever leaving, would the Taliban just sit back and hope that we are bluffing. The people in our country just think that we are fighting a war for nothing. But if we were able to set up a stable democracy in Afghanistan, or Iraq, it would enable us to reap major rewards. I don't think winning the war means killing all the Taliban, winning the war would really be having the Taliban be a non factor in Afghanistan by giving the people power, and confidence that they are in control. But in saying this I would have to say we can't win because the people in our country wont allow us to. They only look at how many American's have been killed, not what they were trying to accomplish and why. Even during WWII the people kept count of american deaths, but they also kept count of Enemy deaths. Now we keep track of American deaths, and also Afghanistan deaths. But do you know the Afghanistan deaths we keep track of? the civilians. Everything we do that has to do with our military is wrong, or at least thats what the majority of our people think.
