People forget.

It is the normal and natural thing for human beings to forget. If we do not, the forefront of the mind and short term memory, STM, will be overwhelmed.
In forgetting, we forget what it is to be zealot and the inflexibility that attends being a zealot.
In Masada, the Jewish Zealots chose death by suicide than to surrender.

So, with this in mind, what is so remarkable about this:

Nothing!

And this intractable predicament has come about all because a successful American drone attack.
However, as you can see, it was not very helpful because America was, and I believe, still disposed to talk with the Taliban so that some sort of peace settlement might be concluded.

And this desire's of America's is also odd.
How can you hope for peace with zealots? It is an oxymoron.
I can't work it out, can you?
