Taliban Dominate Swat Valley of Pakistan with Flogging and Fear; Predict Fall of Pakistan - Video 3/23/09

Here is a Sky News video report on the takeover of the Swat Valley Region in Northeast Pakistan by the Taliban. The video shows life in the valley under the Taliban, including the flogging of those believed to have violated Islamic Sharia Law. The brutality and thuggery of the Taliban clearly shown in this video shows what the United States is up against in Afghanistan, and now in Pakistan. According to the report, the Taliban openly say that the Swat Valley region is just the first to fall to them. The Taliban predict a takeover of the entire nation of Pakistan - a nation with nuclear weapons.

What is so chilling about the Taliban takeover is that the President of the United States believes he can reason with and negotiate with these people. Watch this report and tell me if you think they can be reasoned with?
