Three options for Obama in Afghanistan – Global Public Square - CNN.com Blogs

I'm not sure what the 'real' mission was there in the first place besides taking out terror camps, but the big question now seems to be, what do you do with the Taliban? Do we leave and let them take Afghanistan back to 1990 laws? Have we killed enough of the extremists that the Taliban would be in the minority? If we were able to get the Taliban down to 10%, would they just use gang techniques to intimidate or kill their opposition until people had no choice but to support them?

My idea today was that we should give a free 5 to 10-day trip to Mecca to any person who will turn in a gun or RPG. Then on the trip show them how the rest of the Islamic world lives.
