The British Government negotiated a peace with the IRA, a terrorist organisation supported by many Americans, and the troubles ended. So why not try to end the problems?
Yes the Taliban will ask for the world, like the IRA did, and they will settle for what they can get. Like the IRA did. The people who supported the IRA saw the truth and wanted peace, they abandoned the IRA and left with no alternative the IRA had to cede many points. Some of the top IRA men and now in Government in Northern Ireland, even though they deny being in the IRA.
Talking around a table is the best way to stop a war. It stopped the war in Vietnam, Korea and others. Talking to the enemy is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength.
