The U.S. Needs to Talk to the Taliban in Afghanistan

The U.S. Needs to Talk to the Taliban in Afghanistan - The New York Times:

Even with the United States’ diminished direct combat role since 2015, American airstrikes and operations by American special forces pose the gravest danger to the Taliban.
