Imagine if, after the inglorious defeat at Dieppe in 1942, Canada withdrew from the war and decided to appeal to "moderate" Nazis. With the benefit of hindsight, we can safely say that such a notion is insanity and thank God we defeated the Nazis in 1945.
Why, then, must we appeal to "moderate" Taliban?
This video shows how law and order are maintained in the Swat Valley in Pakistan. WARNING: the video is quite disturbing (the comments about the video are quite telling).
These actions are not atypical. Refugees from the Swat Valley were afraid of this and are now too terrified to return.
Hadiths and the Koran declare women can be beaten, if not admonished, for their "deficiencies"
Why on earth would anyone even think of meeting these people half way? People are publicly flogged for trivial offenses, schools are shut down, people live in fear, disease is rampant. In effect, the Taliban have shut down an entire country because they can.
What were Harper and Hillary Clinton thinking when they thought to back away from the Taliban? It isn't just defeatist not to engage and destroy the Taliban. This surrender means the destruction of countries and the suicide of good over evil.

Great comparison. I can't understand why people don't see the terrorists for who they are. In both Canada and the US we have refugees who will tell you in great detail how bad life was for them under such monsters. We owe it to them to stay and defend values we hold so dear.
