#1 This is an opinion piece, and your opinion may (will) differ, but it is a 'reasoned' opinion piece, in my opinion.

#2 Don't we usually talk to our enemies, so they know what number to call when they're ready to surrender?

#3 In my humble opinion.... the Obama administration and it's feckless US State Department are pushing billions of USD toward AFG and PAK while bending over smartly for the buggering, in order to extricate the US, if only partially before the 2012 election run-up. As a result, I doubt the Taliban Spring Offensive will amount to much as they use the time to their strategic advantage.
