I appreciate you making the distinction and I accept your caveat. For this very reason we (the U.S.) are negotiating with the insurgents to bring about whatever resolutions are possible. This must be done. To label the entire opposition as ‘terrorists’ is reductive and foolish. For on one reason it makes the U.S. absolute hypocrites ‘we do not negotiate with terrorists’—except for the ones we do? And that’s just for starters.”
See you lost the minute you started “talking” to the insurgents. They just want you dead. They don’t give a rats ass what you think or believe. It’s ALLAH all the time and ALLAH all the way.
