It's not about that, it's about keeping them as 'on side' as possible due to the presence of the Taliban within the country, along with the presence of nuclear weapons and the strong likelihood that various high ranking bits of Al Qaeda are there.
It's far easier to do what needs to be done if they support or at least don't obstruct it.
If we get into trouble we allegedly have the rest of Europe and NATO to assist.
