 Not to forget the war with Russians...
I'm not sure that it is gone for Afghanistan, gone for Americans and Westeners, yes.
But some countries will deal with them, look at Russians and Chinese. 
They work in Syria, so I won't be so pessimist... Keep hope, at least for research and economy, not for human rights...
