This is exactly what I mean. The focus was first to attack terrorism. Now it has shifted to military action against the Taliban and terrorism seems to come in second place. The political view is being attacked while at first there was a campaign started to fight terrorism.
It's beside the point that I don't support the Taliban views.

It is possible to realize certain goals without having to start a war or without casualties. The only difference is IMO that it takes longer. And for political reasons it isn't popular to have a campaign running for long periods of time.
