Afghanistan and the Taliban

I have little expertise in Afghanistan and the Taliban, to be blunt to start.

However, while you argue that the Taliban does not have popular supports, your third point to support your argument seems contradict and undermine your argument.

You appear inadvertently acknowledge that the Taliban may be better than some warlords, that indirectly implies that the Taliban may have some popular support in some regions.

One should not compare the Taliban with an ideal situation. Rather, one should take into the Afghanistan broad environment in which the Taliban operates into account when consider to do a deal or not with the Taliban.
