Indeed we can surrender when it comes to fight a real war with our enemies, but can't and will not negotiate with our own people.
Indeed, we want peace but soaked in blood, we want glory in the graveyard of innocent. We are a nation of principals, we are at WAR.

There have been plenty of negotiations actually and lots of failed peace deals. The latest peace deal was another attempt to distill the cultural traditions of the people living in the area and allow them to practice their way of life: Provided they renounce militancy. The Taliban have ensured that this would not succeed. You have to remember some of these Taliban are not Pakistan citizens, as the pak army said the other day.
I am also uncomfortable with the surge of hate and blood lust towards everyone north or west of Peshawar. This rise in the passions of our citizens may be the trigger that will finally prompt the government and the military to seriously attempt to solve this problem. The Taliban leaders warrant a freeze on our sympathy, but not so much some unemployed foot soldiers looking for money or brainwashed madrasa students who have had their sense of reality altered. For these there has to be room for rehabilitation.
Eventually, there is no option but to confront them militarily. Actually there may have been no option other than this starting in 2001 & we are late already.
The Saudi have been successful with some deprogramming half-way houses, or rahab programs for Jihadis. Maybe we should set up these types of places as well along with fierce regulation of madrasas.
links to the Saudi program in case someone doesnt know about them.
