A top American diplomat visiting Afghanistan says the United States wants the Taliban to issue statements disassociating themselves from international terrorism and saying they want to join a peace process to end the 10-year war. Marc Grossman, the special US envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, spoke to reporters Sunday in Kabul. Grossman stressed that only Afghans can decide their country's future, easing Afghan President Hamid Karzai's fears of being sidelined in the peace process.
