We don't have to include them in the new government to accomplish the goal of "denying them the ability to overthrow the government." I don't know how long the American people will continue to support the war. President Obama has promised a draw down to begin in July 2011 (at least for what we "surged"), so we will see how that goes and the progress we have made. I don't disagree that the Taliban should be added to the list, but they are not, and there are some good reasons for it in my opinion. Additionally, in many cases, we must accept that the Taliban hates Al Qaeda. We have to remember that the Taliban lost power because of Al Qaeda and in many cases (more now than before) do not want to work with them. Additionally, there are now Pakistani offshoots of the Taliban etc, so we need to be clear just which groups we are talking about.
