First, "The Taliban" is not an organized group. Afghanistan is a tribal region and always has been. There is no sense of nation there.

Second, warlords run the place and always have. We aren't going to change that easily.

Third, we know how to do it but we haven't the patience. We want to shoot them until they are peaceful. Fighting for peace is a lot like f**king for virginity. Its never going to happen, no more than it would ever happen in America if we were invaded by a foreign power.

Fourth, we need to reach the children, the boys and girls, from birth until age 7. Thats where the real change will happen.
The Taliban are an organized group. Thats why they could overthrow the Afghan government and take power if it were not for foreign assistance. There are other groups involved - criminal groups, warlord forces, etc, but the Taliban are the only ones who could topple the regime.

Shoot them until they are peaceful? Dead people are very peaceful. Do you have a better way of making enemies "peaceful"?

We are not there to liberate their women or indoctrinate their children. Having knocked out their government in persuit of Al Qaeda we are now there to help the new government until they are able to handle the situation themselves.
