Just my personal opinion:

1. Taliban returns to Afghanistan from the tribal regions in Pakistan and reestablishes control of the country.
2. Any semblance of a national Afghan government will collapse.
3. Al Queda will reestablish a base of operations again in the country.
4. We will continue to deal will terror attacks in the future.
5. We will end up having to go back and finish what we lacked the political will to do the first time.

Huge multinational mining corporations with hefty "private security" divisions move in and quietly start the looting?

If the Taliban don't retake control, it will be because an equally oppressive group took their place.

Afghanistan has been through this sort of thing for hundreds of years.

Karzai is laughingly refered to as the Mayor of Kabul. Originally I thought he would be on the last plane out but now I think the Taliban would just as soon leave Karzai in the Capitol and perhaps a couple other cities just to be sure we won't come back and to insulate them from us

Do you remember what happened in South Vietnam?

It will be similar except the US and Afghanistan won't end up being friends and trading partners.

I dunno. Battle hardened and experienced armies from around the world have devoted time, effort, and manpower into training up the Afghan National Army. For like, years. I know they're pretty chaotic and unreliable, but at this point, hopefully they might stand a fighting chance. It's not like they won't still have some support from foreign nations with an interest in the place not descending back into a religiously fanatical opium factory. It might interest you to know those powers include Iran, who might not want it to become a wealthy secular democracy allied with the USA, but also definitely don't want it to keep flooding their country with heroine, refugees, illegal immigrants, and Sunni extremism (the Iranians are Shiite).
