Comments: President Karzai, negotiations and the UN
Comment by John B:

"Denis Coderre said he will make an unauthorized fact-finding trip to Afghanistan .."

Kidnapped by the Taliban perhaps?

My first thought of Karzai's offer was that of a shrewd operator - which was quickly confirmed by the Taliban response. You would almost think Karzai had Jack Layton and the NDP (let's negotiate with the Taliban) in mind when he drafted the offer.

Comment by Ellie in T.O.:

So if the Taliban got some seats in the gov't, would that mean just SOME of the Afghan women would be oppressed?

Comment by DaninVan:

Coderre might just find a kinder reception from the Taliban than the Cdn. Forces.
