Your scenario only plays out if we go backwards and return to an isolationist foreign policy which abandons the Afghani's. The reason this type of situation didn't occur in Japan, Italy and Germany was the enormous commitment to rebuilding these countries with a focus that changed the fundamental political views of the local populations. A Marshall Plan for Afghanistan is a must. If we empower the locals to create humane laws and also create a justice system to effectively enforce these laws, then the few psycopaths who won't come to terms with the "new paradigm" will find it much more difficult to plant and harvest the seeds of terrorism. It's like clearing a field of weeds. If the ground is left unattended, more weeds will grow. If the proper care and materials are used, then whatever is planted should be able to grow into a bountiful harvest.
