If i was the President of Taliban I would want to negotiate with Afghanistan if I really wnated all the fighting to stop. Then about all the terrorists they need to leave them alone and all the war and fighting needs to stop because it mkaes stress on everyone thinking about the deaths and the kidnapping! The world needs to stop all the war before we go into another depression and thats not something we need right now becasue it's hard enough with everyone living paycheck to paycheck. The kidnapping is unecaessary, It's sick if someone just kidnaps another person and for what reason , money..everyone needs money its just the same, I think everything going on in our society and the worlds discussu=ions is making everything harder to deal with and it all just needs to stop before it leads to something bigger than it has been al ready!
I would want all the fighting to stop as well. No one deserves to live in a country where they fear walking outside! I think he is doing the right thing and that the terrorist should attempt a peace agreement with him. There is no reason for terrorism in the world and 1 less place for it to happen would be a good thing
if i was president, i would try anything to stop the war. I think it's just pointless, and innocent people are killed out of other peoples ignorance and hate. The kidnappings are reciulous too. Why would you keep another human being captive for soemthing stupid like money? We've all gone power hungry and we're going to stop at nothing to get to the top. somehow we all need to realize that these wars are not getting anything accomplished. we are not learning from our past mistakes. we just need to let it go and gain some unity, instead of holding all these grudges and hostility towards each other. that doesn't make this a good world to live in.
As president of Taliban i would negotiate too. The fighting should stop because they should have peace everywhere. People should be able to live in an environment where they arn't worrying about being killed etc.
As president I would probably negotiate to get the war to stop, but I think that negotiating would be pointless. Afghanistan is looking like it will stop at nothing to get what it wants and it will be very costly for Taliban. People are obviously not in their right minds if they are kidnapping people for money, I just don't see the negotiation going very well. In any case, I can't see this situation getting much worse, things are already really bad.
I wouldn't want to negotiate with the Taliban but I get that the president wants to stop the fighting. It's been getting harder and the fighting and casualities are getting worse. It's probably really hard to consider surrendering to the Taliban exspecially after everything that has happened with this war but the only way that he is ever going to slow these attacks is to surrender. They are never going to stop hurting and killing people because that was what they were taught but the president of Afganistan just wants his people safe or as safe as he can make them.
I think negotiating sounds like a good idea, but is it legitimate? After everything that has happened, how can you trust a terrorist group. If the Taliban will honestly negotiate a "peace plan" then yes it would be a very good thing. I can definately understand why they would want these negotiations in Afganistan; I couldn't imagine living in a place where there could be attacks such as this at any time. The people live in constant fear, and that's not right. Because terrorism is an idea it is proving very difficult to eliminate, but if a negotiation could work, then that's definately a step in the right direction.
i would definitely want to negotiate with the Taliban because less people would be dying for no reason then. there is no reason for kidnapping over money. its not necessary and terrorists need to know that they are getting nothing out of it except death. they should have a peace agreement so their lives are no longer threatened every second of the day
