94 Taliban, طالبان, fighters have been killed.
This is excellent news from a military short term tactic standpoint. However, it is very bad news from a long term strategic standpoint. If 94 Taliban were killed, that means that there were 94 Taliban there, who were willing to fight for what they believe in. And what they believe in does not seem to be Western democracy.
The fact that 94 were killed, means that there are hundreds and thousands more, who are prepared to fight. The failure of the West is that we have not been able to communicate well enough with those people to convince them to put down weapons.
