A USA military solution to the Taliban activity in Afghanistan is not practical, nor will it win. I believe that the USA should encourage the moderate Muslim countries in that area, most notably Saudi Arabia, to help in the effort to stop the Taliban. With USA support, these fellow Muslim regions should organize a Religious-Military operation to fight the Taliban. This will provide the Afghanistan people a humane and viable fighting force that can defeat the Taliban without the dominance and brutality of the USA military. There are about 50 Muslim countries, and a sizable number that are friendly to the USA. The Religious-Military force could be a collaboration of progressive Christian and Muslim religions, combined to give the Afghan people protection against the Taliban. Both religions practice tolerance, as a means toward peace, and a solution to what the world faces today. Some might suggest that a Religious-Military force is a contradiction in terms, the Taliban however, is that type of army and they appear to be very successful.
