News reports are out that one of the most senior leaders of the Taliban has been captured. If true, this could further diminish the Taliban's influence and ability to carry out it's attacks.

Originally posted by rwingettI doubt that an all-encompassing police state would be sufficient. I do think that education and a reduction of poverty goes a long way towards reducing the amount of terrorism that actually happens.
