#1 The Taliban have repeatedly spurned peace overtures, deriding Karzai's government as a puppet of the United States and saying they will not talk peace until all foreign forces have left the country.

I wonder what percentage of the Taliban fighters are "foreign forces"? Your foreign forces leave first....

The Taliban are anti-democratic. Exactly what kind of government would they be joining? Oh yeah, a corrupt one.

As an observation, that's pretty much the same thing the Russian government's been saying.
