Oh just great...another spineless wonder from the U.K. And this time it is the Defense Secretary, Des Browne, who is trying to make nice nice with the bloody heathens of the Afghanistan mountains. Here is what this putz, Browne, had to say:
That's it. This guy is a complete idiot. Let me try and refute Browne's argument:
1. The Taliban once ruled Afghanistan with an iron fist - they enslaved women, they closed schools to children and they reaped 100% of the opium profits of the land and made themselves millionaires. You honestly think the Taliban is going to SHARE this country now with the current government?
2. The Taliban follow the most stringent sect of islam - the most extreme form of the ideology and anyone who doesn't follow that, to them, is either an infidel or an apostate - so Mr. Browne, you see these Taliban sitting side to side with apostates and infidels in a parliament making laws and shooting the shit?
3. The Taliban risked everything they had to protect bin Laden. They lost it all. They want it back. You think, Secretary Browne, that a group such as this...one that believes so strongly in the mode of worldwide islamic terror, will simply want to participate in a democratic government that outlaws terror?
The British foreign policy seems to change daily - just when you think PM Gordon Brown might see the error of his ways and starts to talk tough, you get one of the flunkies from his cabinet come out like this and make fools of the Brits. In my view, appeasement doesn't suit a people who at one time, hunkered down in their homes and withstood a bombardment from Nazi bombs day in and day out. The British people deserve better than a yellow belly like Des Browne.
Here's the full story from The Telegraph.
What you need to do in conflict resolution is to bring the people who believe that the answer to their political ambitions will be achieved through violence into a frame of mind that they accept that their political ambitions will be delivered by politics," he says.
There are different varieties of these organisations ... There's no question that some of them, if we succeed, will transfer into the political dimension."

We must talk to the Taliban, says Des Browne
His comments appear to contradict Gordon Brown's pledge last year that Britain would not negotiate with terrorists.
The Prime Minister told the Commons: "We will not enter into negotiations with these people."
But The Daily Telegraph disclosed two weeks later that MI6 had secret talks with the Taliban.
Mr Browne says his experience as a Northern Ireland minister convinced him that the West should be willing to have lines of communication open to Islamist extremists.
Mr Browne admits that his comments will be controversial. But he says the Government faced the same criticism in Northern Ireland.
"Now we see the two extremes sitting in government together and that is celebrated. I don't know anybody who doesn't think that's a better position to be in than hundreds of people losing their lives."
In the interview, the Defence Secretary says he remains "optimistic" about the situation in Iraq, despite this week's violence in Basra.
He rejects criticism of the decision to pull British troops out of the southern city. "We left at exactly the right time."
He insists there is "no plan" for troops to return to the city, although he says "we will do what is necessary to support [the Iraqis]".
He also says that British troops will move towards an "overwatch" position in Afghanistan.
The present level of pressure on the Armed Forces is, Mr Browne admits, unsustainable. "We can't do this for ever and we aren't."
