Taliban no more terrorists?

Afghanistan has several “locals”. Giving preference to one set of “locals” (Taliban) is only a matter of priority by some.

But do remember that (wanting US to fail in Afgh) = (wanting a Taliban government in Afgh).
There is no denying that.

Locals are locals, no matter what ethnic glasses you put on and what sectarianism makes you think.

@Captain1 - you are making statements like “good is better than bad”. It is very difficult to get a specific point across when you spout of motherhood, apple pie and frankincense!

Taleban seems more capable of controlling Afghanistan than Karzai & company. But that comes with a cost - which is Taleban is capable of pushing extremist agenda in legislation & justice.

USA’s efforts to create an alternative to them have been sabotaged by Pakistan’s ISI games (which incidently has backfired on themselves as well but that is a different story), Karzai’s incompetence + corruption and NATO/USA policy mistakes.

SO guess now the time to evaluate the + / - of Taleban is essential. While doing so, it would also be relevant to understand what people in Afghanistan feel about them now.

Saying people who know, know…! that is like what the old ISI director used to spout of!

As if US came to region to get rid of extremism in Afghanistan, US wanting to negotiate and bring them in power is clear indication that US doesn’t care whether Taliban are extremists or not. CIA will play for US interests and ISI will play for Pakistan’s interests, you want Pakistan to not look after its interests, really?
