Well, pragmatism is a judgement call. "Negotiating with the Taliban" seems far less ridiculous to one who judges that the resources needed to obliterate the evil is less than the resources needed to negotiate a settlement.
Transplant: "Affiliated with" and being listed directly as a terrorist group are two different things. The Taliban are not recognized as a terrorist organization by Canada, the United States or any other industrialized nation.
