Are these the moderate Taliban Obama wants us to believe in?
A Taliban firing squad killed a young couple in southwestern Afghanistan for trying to elope, shooting them with AK-47s in front of a crowd in a lawless, militant-controlled region, officials said Tuesday.
Doesn’t sound “lawless to me.” Sounds like too much law, of the wrong sort. More here, but the main point: there is no chance of “negotiation” or “appealing to the better natures” when dealing with people like this.
All we can do is win, or quit. And if we quit, we’ll just have to start again later.
