Correspondent: Pay Taliban $20 a day not to fight

rawstory.com
( Our cost for ONE SOLDIER ($100k) would sideline 5000 Taliban. )

A Time magazine national security correspondent says it may be time for the US to send the Taliban a new message: Make money, not war.

Oh. So, suddenly, it is a good idea to pay the enemy?

I seem to recall you all complained about it when we were doing it in Iraq (even though it worked).
