#2 This shows a lack of understanding. Many forms of tribal organization, like the Taliban, lack true leaders. What they call leaders are just the few that others want to follow, for the time being.

This means that their leaders have no real or lasting authority, and no one is bound by anything anyone else says. So treaties are useless and empty.

From our point of view, making peace with the Taliban is as meaningless as if Iran decided to sign a peace treaty with Jimmy Carter right now. Carter has no authority. He is just an aging, egotistical, sanctimonious putz.
