Skybird - remember that the "alliances" in afghanistan change consistently - there is no long term stability in "talking" a group out of the fight. You have posted that repeatedly yourself.

The reality is that to solve the afghanistan problem, is going to take a different approach altogether. Talking won't do. Nor will just special operations actions.

You have to understand what motivates the people, and either answer to that motivation, or make what they desire too costly to gain.

Additionally, your totally not counting the external forces (besides the taliban in pakistan) that are at work.
