Pakistan has given the nod to Taliban rule in Pakistan's Swat Valley. The strict intepretation of religious law forbids girls to attend school, so schools are destroyed and oppression of women and girls return.
The oppression of women is a form of caste that simply should not be tolerated--caste being defined as a group that is oppressed based on biological characteristics.
The application of force and violence against the Taliban has to be judicious and restrained & combined with diplomatic action and development aid wherever possible and effective, but I hope there is a concerted effort by the international community to destroy the Taliban and their ilk politically and socially.
