As the U.S. plans to increase troops deployed to the war in Afghanistan – a war with seemingly no end – some still feel quite belligerent and doubtful whether it’s worth even talking to the Taliban.
AKAIK you've got the anwser in one!
The reported said the Taliban are a major force. That may not be true. There are many Taliban fighters that would defect or get another job with a better offer. People in the East do not seem to have American values which are based on Christian values of truth and love and caring, charity. I think that is what has made America strong is our foundation of Christianity and the values that come with that. Many people in America still hold those values and are not Christian but there is still that foundation which people in the countries of Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, etc. have never had and most likely won't because of their severe hatred toward Christianity and America. It would be nice to think we would be better off just leaving them to themselves but the next thing you know we would be fighting them on our own soil and Israel would be destroyed. I would like to see us put our energies toward helping Mexico our neighbor and fighting the drug cartels together. We need to look at Mexico as an ally and friend.
