Understanding the Taliban

To understand the consternation many are expressing in regard to the Bergdahl exchange, it is necessary to delve deeper into the nature of the Taliban themselves. Whether Bergdahl voluntarily left his post or even became a turncoat, the nature of the terrorists released in the exchange must be explored. The Taliban are Wahhabi nihilists who want to destroy all who are not strict practitioners of Sunni Islam. The Taliban are misogynistic nihilists of the first order who enslave women and who gladly protected Osama bin Laden because they share his death cult fanaticism. I guarantee you that the five Taliban exchanged for the American would gladly kill American military personnel and any Afghan who might demur at the earliest opportunity. There can never be even an uneasy peace with the Taliban unless we all renounce our own faiths, abandon our tolerance, and act like seventh century throwbacks with modern weapons as they do. The Taliban are anti-civilization and can never be joined in negotiation. They simply must be destroyed.
