So, the Taliban, those goat-loving, medieval throwbacks, are suddenly feeling chatty. You know, after Pakistan decided to drop some freedom ordnance on their playhouses. Funny how a little bit of 'kinetic diplomacy' can change the tone of a conversation, isn't it?

For years, the geniuses in DC have been saying, 'We need to talk to the Taliban.' Talk? TALK? These are the same guys who make ISIS look like a well-adjusted book club! You can't 'dialogue' with religious fanatics who think women are property and democracy is a dirty word. You show them the business end of a Reaper drone.

Pakistan, bless their hearts (and their nukes), seems to have grasped this concept. They've been dealing with the Taliban's inbred cousins, the TTP (Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan), for years. Cross-border raids, suicide bombings, the whole nine yards of Islamic fun. So, instead of another strongly worded letter from the UN, they went full send.

Suddenly, the Taliban is all, 'Hey, maybe we can work something out?' Yeah, maybe you should have thought about that before you were harboring terrorists and destabilizing the region. Freedom isn't free, and apparently, neither is ignoring your neighbor's 'suggestions'.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not exactly thrilled about Pakistan being the good guys here. They're not exactly paragons of virtue themselves. But sometimes, you have to pick the lesser evil. And in this case, the lesser evil is the country with a functional air force and a willingness to use it against the pajama-clad terrorists.

What's really hilarious is the hand-wringing from the usual suspects in the 'international community'. 'Oh, the civilians!' 'Oh, the human rights!' Spare me. These are the same people who were silent when the Taliban was blowing up schools and beheading journalists. Now they're suddenly concerned about collateral damage? Get real.

The truth is, the Taliban only understands one language: force. And Pakistan just gave them a crash course. Will it lead to lasting peace? Probably not. These guys are like cockroaches – they'll survive anything. But at least they'll think twice before messing with Pakistan again.

So, let's raise a glass to Pakistan for reminding the world that sometimes, you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. And in this case, the omelet is a slightly less chaotic Afghanistan. It's not ideal, but it's a hell of a lot better than the alternative.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go buy some popcorn and watch the Left try to spin this as a victory for diplomacy. It's gonna be hilarious.

P.S. Remember when Biden said the Taliban wouldn't take over Afghanistan? Pepperidge Farm remembers. And so do all the Afghans who are now living under Sharia law.
