Reuters reports Toweliban have quit negotiations with US over Afghanistan's future

And who can blame them?

The trigger was apparently Sargeant Bales' rampage. If that's true it means they stayed at the table throughout that Koran burning fiasco, which is nothing other than a huge gesture of goodwill on their part.

But I suppose enough is enough. There's a difference between burning books, even holy books, and slaughtering innocent civilians.

Negotiating with the US was always a bit iffy to begin with. After all, the Talibs are Afghans for the most part. It's their country.

Why should they be negotiating about what slice of the pie they're going to get when they know the whole thing is coming their way at the end of 2014?

Or sooner.
