So according to you the Taliban are fighting the good fight - the good Taliban huh, OK I understand where you are coming from and also acknowledge the civilian deaths in the WOT, again they can be counted as victims of cross fire.
There are two ways the world can look at it,
1) For the benefit of Afghanistani's the world needs to see a peaceful and prosperous Afghanistan, I don't think the Taliban way of life / their form of governance is acceptable to the Afghanistani's, any support on ground that they receive in Afg could be out of fear of the Taliban - not exactly an embrace of their rule. If Pakistani's are so keen on advocating the Taliban and promoting them then it is fitting that they should accept the Taliban into their society first as an example and show the world their good side. Where is the justice in putting innocent Afghani's through the experiment.
2) The world can easily look away and let Afghanistan fall back into the Taliban's hands as was the case in the 90's and we all know what happened then, but the issue is under them Afghanistan becomes a safe haven for all terror organisations who operate and conduct terrorist acts in other countries, who can ensure that it wont happen again? - who can ensure that Afghan soil will not be used to fuel terrorism? We can easily leave Afghani's and Afghanistan to its fate - will not make much of a difference to anybody. but the terrorists operating out of a talibanised Afg will conduct terror strikes all over the world.
I do think that you name says it all, ILLUSION, maybe that is the way you see things but not everyone else. You mentioned in your post that 26 countries tried to concise the Taliban and I mentioned to you clearly that the Taliban, and bear in mind alot have joined them to the fact that their families and children have been killed as shown by my link. And you want them to reconcile,...... How about someone kills your family members first and then you can do it.......
As regards to the fact that according to your illusion, the people support them out of fear. With the armed forces of 26 nations, a hyper power with over 100,000 soldiers and all the technological advancement the pele are still in fear, yeh right, ok.....you live In your typical Indian illusion, no wonder these 26 countries have lost this war........
Without the support of people, the Taliban would have been long crushed, long long ago
