Sure, but how, the devil's in the details.
Which is exactly the reason you, or I, can't come up with a viable solution. We don't even know who the players are, and only tw is pompous enough to think he does. There is a shifting alliance of factions, like musical chairs.
We can be sure the Indians and Pakis hate each other. We can be sure all the area countries have a great interest in the outcome, but only shifting glimpses of how they're contributing to the problem/solution. We know Karzai, and his government, is no good.
But there's much, much, more we don't know. Everything we might do has consequences. Just walking away and let the Afghans stew in their own juices might sound tempting, but what else will happen? What will all these interested parties/nations do? What will all these fighting factions do?
Various US government agencies may have part of the answers. Put together, maybe even all the answers. But I don't. I'll bet you don't either.
