The flaw in your plan is stated at the beginning "take half the billions of dollars spent". The people earning from this war don't want to earn half the money they are currently on.

If after the US backed Mujaheddin kicked the Russians out, the US had spent a few million on school, hospitals, hospitals and roads in Afghanistan there would of been no war in Afghanistan and Iraq.
