The case for a regional solutino in Afghanistan

An article argues for a regional solution in Afghanistan, most notably by involving the SCO which has been relegated to the sidelines by the West (it was not invited to the 2001 Bonn conference). It says that the media constantly plays up the false assumption that "if the US withdraws, the Taliban come back": this is wrong, as the US could withdraw and other regional powers could prevent the Taliban from coming back.
