These strikes hardly ever kill any civilians, simply because the US
classes every dead male over 16 as enemy combatant, unless they can
prove otherwise.
They are no better than the Syrian Army

Three things could be done- and *must* be done- to beat the Taliban.
Firstly, end the crappy war on drugs. Fuck Nixon the bent cop. Buy
Afghan opium at a reasonable price and sell it legally to users. This
would provide the financial support for a stable state.
Secondly, the West needs to understand that the Taliban have some public
support and they have some valid points- for example they cracked down
rightly on child prostitution, which has sadly made a comeback since
they were beaten from office. Like the IRA in Ireland, they need to have
a democratic outlet for their views- a senior IRA leader is now deputy
prime minister of Northern Ireland, and the bombings have pretty much
stopped. The Taliban, like the IRA, represent quite a lot of people and
it is wrong and futile to disenfranchise them- having a delegation in
the Afghan parliament/cabinet is the *only* way that they'll give up the
military campaign. Obama and Cameron need to get their head around this,
and it poses little danger to the population if the country has a strong
enough constitution to prevent a repeat of the Taliban's human rights
abuses.
Thirdly, the West and the world in general needs to get tough on Saudi
Arabia's Islamic fundementalism that is in part fueling militancy around
the world as well as it's serious domestic human rights violations. If
that means $5 a litre for gas, it's a price we'll have to pay for our
peace and security- war costs more.
