#1 Our state department, our tax funded Ivy league colleges and our nationally funded radio - all stuck in a 20th Century mindset that is self-destructive. Sigh - it's time for these dinosaurs to head on down to the LA tarpits of their own making and step in.

#2 Taliban aren't terrorists...no certainly not, they're simply..."an insurgent organization that will periodically use terrorism to carry out its operations."

#3 Aad the point is... They are not lawful combattants, don't wear uniforms, don't respect Geneva convenetions and that means that the Geneva Conventions do not apply to them and so they are justicaibale to summary execution be them terrorists or not.

#4 Once they're dead, it makes no difference. Therefore, the way to settle this argument is to kill them all. Begin immediately, use any weapon that might be useful, and continue until the objective is achieved.
