I agree with you that we can't force values on them. I don't even think we should be there in the first place.
I do believe if we ARE going to be there, we should be there to win.
If you've read what the generals have said, this is an unwinnable war. It is all about maintaining a level of security and fighting off what is really an insurgency and not an organized conflict.
The only way to actually WIN the war, would be to use nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons to effectively destroy an entire people, or break them until you have a complete surrender. Otherwise, as soon as the coalition troops leave, it's back to "Allah snackbar!" and religious fundamentalist paradise.
