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

Think bin Laden might be dead already? Unless our only goal was to rid the middle east of all kinds of terrorist organizations, seems the stuff will be growing out of every region in the world. I agree we leave them to their own devices. Thing is, we are still going to want their oil and they are still going to want to attack us on our homeland. I see no end to this.
Life is growing scary, but I have a feeling that people in the past have gone through their own generational hysteria.
