Afghan President Confirms United States is in Peace Talks with Taliban

[QUOTE=LiquidNazgul;30571938]That's not the point. Why the US is in Afghanistan, what we're trying to accomplish, is irrelevant. The fact is you don't see ISAF soldiers using terror tactics to complete objectives, or lopping off heads in the name of a twisted form of Islam. The ISAF's presence in Afghanistan might have been unjustified or not, but it's sure as hell not like the Taliban regime.

That's the only problem I had with your use of "brutal". Unfair occupation? Unjustified? Maybe, but it's not brutal.[/QUOTE]
That collateral damage the US racked up is a bit too high to not be brutal.
