Of course there will have to be some role for Siraj Haqqani. What would be the point, otherwise? How long could any other arrangement possibly be expected to last?
Google Haqqani's father and mentor, and you will be directed to a Wikipedia page illustrated by a picture of him giving a speech in America, flanked by an admiring Ronald Reagan.
As for the question of women's rights, since we have improved them not one jot as it is, since they had nothing to do with why we went to war in the first place, and since they are in no sense a strategic interest deserving the waging of a war, then what difference would any of this make?
Still, at least we have merely failed to improve the lot of women in Afghanistan. In Iraq, we have made that lot immeasurably worse.
We should never have gone into Afghanistan, and we cannot possibly get out too soon. Nothing else matters. Not in the least.
