Taliban splits with al Qaeda, seeks peace

This from CNN today:

Taliban leaders are holding Saudi-brokered talks with the Afghan government to end the country's bloody conflict -- and are severing their ties with al Qaeda, sources close to the historic discussions have told CNN.

During the talks, described as an ice breaker, all parties agreed that the only solution to Afghanistan's conflict is through dialogue, not fighting.

My Baha'i identity is watching these events unfold both cautiously and hopefully. Please let this be for-real.
