Talks...

The talks were not the first between the Taliban and Iranian officials.  Iran's National Security Council confirmed in Kabul that such talks have taken place in the past and would continue.  Iran has tried to facilitate talks between the insurgents and government of Afghanistan.

The developments come against a backdrop of near-daily attacks in Afghanistan, where the Taliban hold sway over nearly half the country. The Taliban have recently held talks with representatives of several regional countries amid U.S. plans to withdraw up to half the 14,000 American troops from Afghanistan.

Two weeks ago, the Taliban held another round of talks with U.S. officials, this time in the United Arab Emirates and also involving Saudi, Pakistani and Emirati representatives.

In 1998, Iran held the Taliban responsible for the deaths of nine Iranian diplomats who were working in its consulate in northern Afghanistan and sent reinforcements to the 950-kilometer- (580-mile-) long border that Iran and Afghanistan share. 

There is no way around it, the Taliban will rule the country and they will fight the Iranian from here till the end of time. We don't have the right to decide for the Afghan people who to rule. 

Just a thought.
