The wrong policies preceded the formation of these fighter. So it is clear that we need the right policies to bring them back into our fold. Our governments (both past and present) must stop serving their Amriki masters and start working to repair the damage.
Afghanistan will be under Taliban control sooner or later. Compared to other governments in power, the Taliban represented Pakhtun interests and were closely aligned with Pakistan. I don't want any conflicts on the Pak-Afghan border, ever.
You can't bring rabid dogs into any fold. Once the monster is created, you try and kill it. Doesn't matter if America becomes Taliban's ally tomorrow or not. The Taliban represents terrorist wahabi interest, not pashtun interest. Thinking this is your first mistake. And if you don't want conflict in the region, violent groups like the taliban will have to be dismantled.
