Making nice with the Taliban

That's the title of a CBC article that skirts some of the issues surrounding Pakistan's initiative to allow the Taliban to have Sharia law in their northwest region called Swat.

Apparently there is another proposal. The Provincial Government has suggested arming the local population with 30,000 rifles as a way of empowering them. If you had to choose, which idea would you favor?
