Our esteemed Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton wants to split the Taliban off from Al-Qaeda, thinking that the Taliban are not quite as bloodthirsty as Al-Qaeda, and as such they can be worked with: paid off to be nice. Believing that one enemy will not hurt us as much if we play nice with the money is akin to thinking if we stand in front of a truck going 50mph, we will not be hurt as bad as by the truck going 60mph.
No matter what we pay in jizya, we will always be on the receiving end of 1400 years of enmity and hatred, courtesy of Muhammad and the Qur'an. Money will not buy happiness, nor safety, and it is a shame Mrs. Clinton believes this is so.

In a speech at the Asia Society in New York, Clinton reaffirmed US plans to start reducing troops in July and complete the drawdown by the end of 2014 as Afghans take charge of their war-torn country.
Clinton said the surge in US-led troops over the past year was part of a strategy to "split the weakened Taliban off from Al-Qaeda and reconcile those who will renounce violence and accept the Afghan constitution."
Accepting the Afghan constitution, now there is some good news. We think of a constitution in the Western, Jeffersonian sense, yet the Afghan constitution is a far cry from ours. Here are the first articles, read them sitting down.
The top US diplomat said that the Taliban faced a similar choice as in 2001, when the United States toppled the hardline Islamic regime for hosting Al-Qaeda leaders who planned the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington.
