U.S. foreign policy stated from the outset in 2001 that we would follow terrorists where ever they are, no matter the country. Hunt them down and kill them. That's what we said about terrorists generally and Taliban specifically.

We departed from U.N. Charter article 51 twice, and also disregarded the determination of Nuremberg. The nation is complicit, Bush was reelected subsequent to his foreign policy assertions and actions. There's been no serious consideration to hold him or the U.S. accountable. That makes it tacitly permitted.

Killing all Taliban would not be genocide. It would be consistent with long standing U.S. foreign policy. It's a religious sect, not a group of ethnic or nationals.
