This is a link to an article, on Pakistani/Taliban/Co-alition relations. It talks about Pakistans wishes to present the "West" with an intermediate Taliban regime that would be an pseudo acceptable version that we on this side of the pond could stomach, while simultaneously appeasing the pro Taliban Pashtuns, thus solidifying more lucrative relations between Pak and Ghan.
I'm not saying that we should or shouldn't be in Ghan...I was just wondering out of my own curiosity if this is a viable option for a "face saving exit" (to paraphrase the author) of Co-alition forces? Is any version of the Taliban tolerable by "our" standards of living and human rights?
I really do not intend on starting a thread for rhetorical rants, so please only post based on legitimate fact, or links to other articles/websites please!!!
