We think of negotiations as helping lessen domestic conflict but people once used negotiations to end or smooth transition when a war ends.
The dying can end with temporary autonomy surrounding Kabul. Maybe Chinese peacekeepers, subsidized by the US. Maybe too late for the US to stop making up lies about Iran, Iranian peacekeepers with a vestige stake at preventing compulsory burkas until Kabul became a financial nest egg like Hong Kong to China. The exuberance when Britain returned Hong Kong to China without them destroying the Golden economic Goose should be remembered.

Vietnam toppled the Khmer Rough bloodbath tor less reason than the US did Saddam, who had tried to assassinate a president, otherwise the US is in civil wars.

Part of the New York Times article on Mullar Baradar’s arrest was of people who thought he might have been trying to arrange to meet with the US to discuss peace talks, less established sources discuss this possibility as well.
The NY Times article also mentions a lot of past peace discussion that isn't usually mentioned in one place

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Iran fails to come up to the sorry free-speech standard set by the last US President. They should be ashamed of themselves.
I don't know if I'm exactly disappointed by the Iranian action against Facebook. In order to be disappointed, one has to expect good things. I guess I'm miffed that Iran has failed to come up even to the sorry free speech standards set by G. W. Bush, who had set up "Free Speech Zones" at Republican campaign events, usually allowing protesters to set up only in places that were at a good distance from where they could be seen or heard.
