WE could have negotiated with the Taliban - they sent out feelers of being willing to deal.
What concessions or reparations were they offering us along with the extradition of the Al Qaeda leadership, by way of apology for having based them in the first place?
Actually, this was attempted. The US was willing to offer concessions. There was no demand for apologies or reparations. Negotiations fell apart over NATO's sole demand - the extradition of Al Qaeda leadership. In the end, the Sheik Omar would not agree to this.
