Oh I agree you can back track, it's part of the reason I think time travelling to change events is stupid, an event is always the outcome of previous events and generally you get messed up with "I have a time travel machine and I can prevent this, but oops what about all these other miseries of history?" The only way to really deal with most of this is to travel back to about 30000BP and start from scratch when the human population only numbered in the tens of thousands.
However, when looking back at Afghansitan what we are looking at isn't really a blame game, 'what we should have done' is more of a way of saying "Look here's our past mistakes, this one is the most recent and directly an attribute. What do we do to prevent making the same mistakes now and in the future." Obviously we are looking at similar problems with GEorgia vs. Russia and the whole Bolivia & Venzeuala thing. Policy decisions that have messed up things need to be changed and relations need to be repaired. If we continue on these present bad policies we will get nipped in the butt. Hypothetically for instance what happens when the future terrorists show up twenty to thirty years from now and are indistinguishable from 30% of the US population because they are Catholic Latino's and are PO'd for the stuff the US is and will do in Latin America? This is waht results when we give people guns instead of help to improve their lives, we get nipped in the butt.
