Re: Should we negotiate with the Taliban?
If we head down this road then all groups along these lines in any country will expect the same treatment. Going down this road will open us up to, as a country to what in my opinion would be blackmail. Ok we did in Northern Ireland but that has produced stability and progress and was an internal issue. The chances of us producing this else were? We cannot go forth with this without a large amount of ridicule and destain from the international community at large. The Taliban would only talk if they get what they want ie Afganistan the way it was before the present military action started.
