#1 I can't decide which is a better contrarian indicator: Carter or the UN?

#2 UN envoy sez we should talk to Talibs

When your only tool is talk, everything begins to look like dialogue.

The idea that you have to kill all of them to win the conflict is nonsense, he said.

What a lovely sentiment. Please be sure to come back and remind me about it after Islamic intransigence has forced us to turn the entire MME (Muslim Middle East) into smoking glass.

#3 "UN envoy sez we should talk to Talibs"

I've got something to say to them: "Stand real close to each other so we can use fewer bombs to kill you. We don't want to damage the environment any more than necessary."

The beauty is that the statement can apply to both the Tallibunnies and the UN.

#2 Z: "When your only tool is talk, everything begins to look like dialogue."

I am so stealing that. ;-p

#10 Talking is not a problem; I am sure we could talk, if we could agree to allow the Taliban to rule Afghanistan and kill at whim. It appears the Taliban sate their appetite for killing by sending poorly trained kids to face American jets, cannon fire, and world class soldiers, with predictable results.

#11 Well, he's right in a way. We don't have to kill all of them. The younger children who haven't been infected with the Islamic virus could be saved and Saved, or convert to some other non=Satanic religion. Heck, Satanism would be OK.

But killing them all works. And killing 95% of the UN works, too.

#12 But the real question is should we talk to the UN?

#13 I say Mr Koenigs should go talk to them himself and in person.

Once he's taken hostage and beheaded, well, the talking will be ended at that point won't it?
