Once we gave them their elections, we could have declared victory and withdrawn. The window of opportunity for that closed over a year ago. Now we are fighting AQ and standing guard while Sunnis and Shiites blow themselves apart and take quite a few of our guys with them.

BTW, I think it is simplistic and naive to suggest Iraq and Afghanistan aren't overrun with terrorists and that fighting and killing them there isn't better than doing it here.
