- dragonwriter 5y ago> Such a goal could only be accomplished by removing the Taliban from power. It could be a achieved by creating a sufficient perception of cost to attacking, or supporting attacks on, the US to discourage the Taliban from repeating its past bad acts with regard toward the US (other bad acts are explicitly out of scope of the authorization.) Specific deterrence is a widely recognized mechanism to prevent recurrence of bad acts.
