Again with the Taliban in power this only gets you dead.  If you want to
change things they need help from the outside that means forceably removing
the Taliban government.

Leaving all other arguments to one side, how would you propose "removing"
the Taliban from power? And if the Taliban were deposed, would you allow the
Afghani people to choose their own government? What if they chose the Taliban?

A bullet through every green turban you see.  (Or whatever.)

I'm not advocating this action, merely answering the question.
