Have we learned to love the Taliban? And how did this major shift happen so quickly? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about the recent plans to start negotiations with the Taliban. Afghan President Hamid Karzai wants to talk to Taliban leaders, and his backers in the U.S. and Europe are all for it. What does this shift mean for the future of Afghanistan?
