Who will end the Taliban?

Unless there's a grassroot movement within Islam, I mean madrasa KG upwards, the Taliban will never be wiped out.
It’s like the mentally deranged uncle who nobody wants at the wedding, but every one puts up with because he is blood. Mullahs preach an adherence to the letter of the Koranic law in terms much more filial than blood.
Which is why Pakistan’s offensive against the Taliban will eventually blowup in their face, literally.
Musharraf’s reign really ended because he attacked the Red Mosque.
After all, which Muslim will support the killing of another who interprets the Koran literally?

Engage the Taliban? You gotta be kiddin’ me

Barewreck Oh!Bummer needs to understand the difference between engaging in peaceful negotiation and being taken for a ride.
Sure he’s suave and charming and speaks in a manner that makes Dubya seem like a bumbling idiot. But, when you deal with the Taliban, Iran and North Korea, none of the above matter. They are not NDTV viewers.
I don’t quite get ‘engaging the Taliban’. Unless it’s ok to have people ruled by the letter of a religious law interpreted in the same manner as it was over 400 years ago. Be careful Oh!Bummer who you engage and why.
