Afghan Women and the Return of the Taliban

These days, the word 'Taliban' has kind of become a swear word....I feel sorry for anyone who even thinks that something good will come out of negotiating with them.

In my opinion, they are a cancer that needs to be killed by any means possible. The Socio-economic condition of Afghanistan and the frontier areas makes it possible for scum like the Taliban to exist and thrive- as an Indian, I think there are some similarities between them and the Maoist insurgents in India. Fight them ruthlessly and without mercy, because that is all that they understand....and at the same time, provide education and the semblance of an economy that isn't based on Drugs.

That's the only way out of this mess, IMHO
 
This article reinforces the fact that there are no good Taliban. They are evil! And those that think otherwise and wish for them to rule over Afghanistan are no better then they are since they support them in their hearts.

Other than temporary cash flow which will die as soon as they will leave Afghanistan.

Screw the Americans .. Just answer the fact that when the Americans leave what good will the Taliban bring to Afghanistan or better, to Pakistan?
 
Afghan women are screwed either way - Thanks to Tribal Culture of Afghanistan and the barbaric culture of Taliban.
 
There was a corner in my head I thought there might be a very very tiny % of good talibans, My perspective changed a year and a half ago.

There is some other agenda of these so called "talibans", there is Islam that says if you save a human being it is as if you've saved whole of humanity and here is a version of Islam to slaughter anyone and everyone to fullfill objectives only by talibans.

Allied Forces did not really put effort into, in past 8 or more years had they these f*** would have been eradicated exterminated to a larger figure.

That is very true. We cant blame the taliban only for the sad days of women in Afghanistan, the bad culture of treating women like animals has been there for a long time especially the rural areas and those places which practice tribal system. although the taliban took this abuse to a very official level and made it a thousands times worse.
 
It sounds like Little Red Riding hood and the return of the Wolf

There's only two ways out of this. Permanent American military bases inside Afghanistan to prop up Karzai's rule and allow him to root out the Taliban over decades, or negotiation with the Taliban and hope their ambitions for power don't extend to all of Afghanistan. Negotiation with the Taliban obviously won't change their disgusting views on mutiliating women, but it might contain them to only rural areas. Negotiation doesn't have to be on equal terms -- negotiation could be as simple as you stay there and we don't kill you. And of course there is the fact that many Afghans share the Taliban's views. If you don't want to negotiate with the Taliban you had better support American presence in Afghanistan for 50 years since any other way and the Taliban will seize power or have significant influence since Karzai's militia and army will melt once the Americans are gone.

Remember before the Americans the North Alliance was nearly crushed. The Taliban are a real, grassroots movement while the Northern Alliance was centered around the charisma of a few (some would say one) man.
