To do so would openly invite suicide bombers to attend the New Year's Eve celebrations in Times Square, the Super Bowl, or opening day at Disneyland. The inevitable retaliation and the further damage of the US in the eyes of foreign powers is one of the reasons why we should not remove the Taliban -- or any other national government we disagree with -- from power.

Ah, but that's what you get for sticking out your nose because of what you believe is right/wrong. That's a risk one should be prepared to run, whether one is an individual, an organization or a nation.

I agree with your other reason, though. Especially the "right to impose morals" part of it.
