News Flash! US and Afghan governments begin three-way peace talks with Taliban

The U.S. government has launched into three-way peace talks with the Afghan government and Taliban, a senior military official in Afghanistan told Fox News. 

The talks come as Afghan President Hamid Karzai also visits Pakistan in a bid to press for that country's cooperation. Pakistan is vital because the leaders of both the Taliban and the affiliated Haqqani network are thought to be based in the country and in contact with Pakistani intelligence officials.

But I'm afraid that there is no making peace with these people, and everyone knows that. The only chance the government has of achieving peace and stability in the country is to smash  the Taliban into pieces.
