I'm certainly willing to consider arguments for keeping a presence in AF, but demonstrating resolve is not one of them.
One thing at work here, I suspect, is the shaping effect that public opinion places. Historically speaking, most empires, hegemons, great powers, etc. have been very comfortable waging expressly punitive expeditions in response to being attacked.
But the American self-conception makes it hard to justify a punitive operation as a resolve-showing-measure. We *do* lots of punitive operations, but we have to call them something else, or pretend they're actually intended to alter behavior or deter or what have you.
One wonders if perhaps we'd have been more honest w/ ourselves if we admitted at the outset that we were just going to take revenge on the Taliban by doing lots of violence to them for a period of 10-20 years instead of imagining we were going to liberalize&modernize Afghanistan.
