So what you are telling me is that Harper and the Conservatives are stupid for not having them listed?

JoM: My question was - "what is the difference between negotiating with North Korea and the Taliban?". You replied by asking "what good it would do to negotiate with the Taliban"?. I assumed you were trying to distinguish a difference to help respond to my question.

As those have read the thread know, I support the mission in Afghanistan and don't think the Taliban can be negotiated with - there are too many criminal elements that have way too much to lose. What I've been trying to establish here is that it is a judgment call as to whether a group can be negotiated with or not. It's not as simple as "you just don't negotiate with evil groups".
