Yes. We're certainly to blame for any additional predictable suffering (which is probably a fair sum) inflicted on the Afghani people as a result. That fact shouldn't make the blowback from this set of actions any more a part of our moral calculus than with any other action. Although it would've been nice if Hitler's mother had never had sex, I don't find her decision to procreate particularly abhorrent.
