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

Inevitably, you have somehow dragged a shot at the Cons into all this.

The Taliban support Al-Quaeda...of that there is no question. Hence they support terrorism.

If the Taliban isn't actually listed as a terrorist orginization it may be as simple as they haven't launched aggresion against another soverign nation, therefore don't qualify for said label. I would argue however, that they certainly terrorized Afghanis, and as such are on the same rung of the ladder as those they associate with.

Seems to me you are arguing semantics in an all out attempt to convince people reading this that the Taliban and Kim Il Jong are the same thing, therefore if you negotiate with one you must negotiate with the other.

That is absurd.
