Ah, that's right, you were one of those idiots who disputed the possibility that there might be "moderate Taliban".
I'm sorry if you don't like the nuanced reality we live in. It would be much easier for small minds out there if everything was black and white, I understand. But it isn't like that and grown ups who have to deal with the real world understand that sometimes you have to deal with people you'd rather not and that in those circumstances you can still have a positive outcome even if it isn't ideal. Is there potentially a spot for a representative of the Taliban in a governing coalition in Afghanistan? Of course. There are lots of potential options and you'd be an idiot to categorically rule them out before hand.
