It is already too late for NATO in general and the United States in particular. Ten years into a pointless war, and the countries warring against Taliban are still as clueless as the rest of the world as to where they stand.
If Taliban could not be defeated in ten years, what is the guarantee that they would be destroyed in a hundred years?
It is the last ditch chance for the world to come to some sort of settlement with the Taliban. Personally, I really feel sorry for the decade the United States lost to a war which benefited it, or the rest of the country, in no obvious way and which did not make anything any the better. If all these resources that were spent in defeating Taliban had been used to fund for example research and development projects, the world, today would have at least something to its credit.
It would be a most unwise decision by NATO to leave Afghanistan in 2014 at the mercy of the Taliban. All that they use to dread about terrorism before invading the country actually did not happen, but in the event of an unplanned withdrawal all those terrible things might in reality come to pass.
I wish the think tanks of NATO as well as other world powers devise an effective strategy so that Afghanistan, and other countries in the world, may remain in peace and harmony for the years to come. Let us hope, we would not have a bloody decade ahead, even though the first two years of it have been, rather that way.
