Taliban launched failed attack on joint U.S. - Afghan base

This article is bout a Taliban suicide bomber attack at the joint U.S.-Afghan air base in eastern Afghanistan. The Taliban detonating explosives at the gate and sparking a gun battle that lasted at least two hours with American helicopters firing down at militants before the attackers were defeated. The attackers and at least five Afghans were killed, officials said. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the attack. It was the largest clash at the Jalalabad air base since February, when a suicide car bombing at the gate triggered an explosion that killed nine Afghans, six of them civilians.

I find that this is a tragic event because the Taliban are ruling many parts of Afghanistan so, they think they can run around any where and kill who ever and take what ever. I find that even if we take out their leader Osama bin Laden they still have brothers or another Alpha will take his place. I find that we have to negotiate with them and try to set some guide lines and if they are not taken up Canada and other countries around the world will come in and take stronger force.
