Taliban has said that they want to end Afghanistan's 17-year old war through talks. <br/><br/>In a letter to the American people, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said their preference is to solve the Afghan issue through peaceful dialogue. It said the United States must end its occupation and accept the Taliban right to form a government consistent with the beliefs of its people. <br/><br/>The Taliban said the chances for dialogue are not exhausted and it is not too late for the US to realise that Taliban can solve problems with every side through healthy politics and dialogue. <br/><br/>Meanwhile, a spokesman for Afghanistan's NATO-led military mission, Captain Tom Gresback said the Taliban statement alone does not show a willingness to engage in peace talks. <br/><br/>He said the recent Taliban attacks on civilians demonstrated they are not ready to enter good-faith peace negotiations. <br/>
