For the first time in years White House and Afghan Presidency are talking the same language. These surprises are coming in a time when the lingering Afghan President has less than a couple of months in office. Diplomacy has worked, it shows. Today’s development in the political arena was not, however, new news to the world except that it was a sitting US President who with a shy eyebrow nodded to the long pleas by Karzai administration to start negotiations with the Taliban.

The question was which Taliban? The one’s who openly supported and continue to support Al-Qaeda after which American soldiers are dutified to run? Karzai, however, was quick to say, “No, Boss, it’s the moderate Taliban”. Moderate Taliban? Doesn’t it sound stupid? Was it not the “Moderate Taliban” who ruled Afghanistan so brutally that it committed massacres of minorities? Wasn’t it the Taliban who beat the hell out of poor women? Wasn’t it Taliban under whose governance women weren’t allowed to work? Wasn’t it Taliban under whose rule, girls couldn’t go to school?

Karzai and Karzai minded so called leaders may rush to say: Oh! No, they were under fundamentalist Taliban and we are talking of “Moderate Taliban”. The most sarcastic scenario on earth, when you dig somewhere and find a rock and still try to hit it hard to up well water. Now, it is happening in Afghanistan. Simply had there ever really been “Moderate Taliban” Wouldn’t they ever voice their concerns on the destruction of historical statues of “The Buddhas”? Wouldn’t they voice when Taliban killed and burnt people in great masses in Shomali plains and Yakawlang of Bamiyan Province.

Well, now have the leaders after fighting such “Moderate Taliban” have come to know that there also exists a faction of Taliban who can be classified under the title of “Moderate Taliban”. Why so? Tell it straight to the public that you don’t have the courage to face the truth. That these “Moderate Taliban” have resisted you harshly and that you are no more interested in protecting the poor Afghans from such guys.

The biggest surprise came in the form of an understanding that OBAMA showed today and gave the green signal for talks with such so called “Moderate Taliban”. In response Karzai’s joy knew no bounds in welcoming the decision while addressing shamefully a gathering to celebrate the women’s day in Kabul today. One’s logic would remain speechless when on the one hand you praise and admire the women because of their role and promise them to bring more legislations in the country for their benefits and on the other hand welcome such a statement that would allow such elements as “Moderate Taliban” to come to the table and beat the hell out of such women. Mr. Karzai must not have been at his senses. He indeed has never been in his senses for the last eight years in office.

Both White House and Karzai administration are turning their eyes to the clear inference that Taliban are not made for talks. They don’t understand humanistic language. They are made to commit crimes and kill the innocent civilians. By talking to them, the governments are taking a share in the crime against humanity at large.
