"If we make peace with the Taliban by any means other than absolute and unconditional surrender we'll be showing terrorists that their tactics work"
The question is: Do politicians and the people have the stomach to execute a plan that would bring about unconditional surrender? Throw in the pressure applied from corporation to leave the infrastructure in place as well. As pointed out, the people have next to nothing. Destroying the poppy fields would leave them less than nothing. All external money supplies would need to be cut off, which means strong arming oil rich Middle Eastern countries. I say at this point, no. No one has the stomach or the balls to go hard at the problem. The Taliban is a brutal regime which should be exterminated, but it won't happen unless they do something drastic that infuriates the western world.
