Should the US negotiate with the Taliban in Afghanistan? (real possibility)

Thing is, history has contradicting lessons regarding this situation.

Appeasement or long, drawn-out bloodletting USSR style?

The Mideast is a tar baby we're better off just leaving the hell alone.

I agree about the mideast... It's time for us to let them to their own devices.

And yes Chamberlain was all about appeasement. The Munich Agreement allowed for Hitler to continue annexing Czechoslovakia.

What kind of agreement allows another country to continue invading and taking over another sovereign country?
