Talking to Taliban

The United States has nothing to discuss with the Taliban. The ethos of civilization and that of the Taliban are incompatable. The US and more broadly, the West embody freedom. The Taliban despise freedom and demand submission under sharia. The Taliban are among the most misogynistic forces the world has known. They do not believe in the notion of equality for women or even allowing the distaff sex an education equal to that of boys. In fact, girls have been murdered for the "crime" of attending school. There can never be a peace reached or even a temporary ceasefire with those who would kill us for our tolerance and refusal to submit to them and their poisonous philosophy.
