Growing up we all believe what we want to. For years my son believed that there were monsters under his bed at night, my daughter believed that a unicorn would show up for her to ride away. Both of them believed in the tooth fairy (OK to be honest there was one of those, it was their father in a closet, but that's a story for another day.). Part of the growing process is that we realize that these childish myths are not real by any means.
Surprisingly, there is one childish myth that many otherwise intelligent adults cling on to. That's the myth that there are moderate members of the Taliban. President Obama, suggests that a key part of his Afghanistan "surge" plan is to engage the moderate Taliban. Obama explained that this was the equivalent of what we did in Iraq. Let me suggest you are more likely to look up into the winter sky and see a fat guy with a red coat and white beard riding a sled being pulled by flying reindeer, than see this plan work. You see, engaging the Sunnis in Iraq is a totally different situation as engaging the Taliban, and like all adults know, there are no Unicorns, Monsters Under the Bed, or MODERATE TALIBAN in the closet:

Blood, blood, blood and gore,
The Tale-ban want only more,
So more is what we will give,
Till none of them will live,
Broken skulls and crushed bone,
Back into the age of stone.
What a great title!
