The trouble is that the whole thing is a war on ideology.
You can't kill an idea. Short of wiping out everyone who ever supported the taliban, striking some sort of truce was always a matter of when, rather than if.
I am a firm believer that some sort of stability is necessary before lasting change can be affected. Work on that first, then work on changing mindsets.
