Where this got so convoluted from the original intent?

"We should never fear to negotiate, but we should never negotiate from fear"

The Taliban(org) cannot and should not be negotiated with

1_ They have nothing to offer that is acceptable to a populace that seeks representative leadership

2_ They represent all that is oppressive and truly intolerant of self destination

Those who make up their ranks however are people and can be approached through their own self and societal interests.

I find myself completely perplexed by this apparent failure to connect those dots currectly in the public message
