Precisely the pseudo intellectual approach that spurs the Taliban.
What terms are you talking about?
That you will cede the Country? Or change the world into an Islamic Fundamentalist State?
No negotiations on freedom for all, period.
It is sad that this gem comes from an Analyst of a popular media, especially when we are celebrating the act of Muslims protecting Christians In Egypt.http://current.com/14qet4c#18

YUSUFZAI: If you wait for the proper time and you keep fighting in the hope that you will weaken the Taliban and you will achieve better terms in negotiations, that may not happen. I think you negotiate with the strength you have. You don’t try and keep fighting forever or [inaudible] fight for four more years. I think this is not the proper policy. And, you know, through negotiations you can moderate, you can try and moderate the Taliban position, because, you know, they also cannot get everything. Taliban also is not in a position to claim victory. They also are suffering losses. So I think that, you know, you can’t wait forever. You know, nine years is a long time. I think if you fight for four more years, so many more people would be killed, and maybe after so many more killings there will be no incentive to talk.
