The execution of 10 aid workers is an elegant argument about why we shouldn't have set an exit time line, and why I'm a little uncomfortable with the idea of leaving without being able to transistion to a competant defense and policing force.

The latest re-emergence of negotiating with the Taliban to me is a fools mission. We can negotiate and claim to come up with an equitable shared government but 10 minutes after the last helicopter leaves the Taliban will overthrow that government and get on with their primary mission of murdering woman, burning down schools and executing anyone that disagrees with their world view.
