both sides are stupid. youd think after all these years of fighting a compromise could be found, but NO, they just always fight. gives me the feeling that they dont want it any other way.
Have you ever heard the phrase, "you can't negotiate with terrorists?" Turns out it's true.
Didn't the United States consider the Taliban terrorists? Did that stop them from negotiating a retreat from Afghanistan? America sure seems to believe you can negotiate with terrorists.
The terrorists in that case managed to outlast a billion/trillion $ anti-terrorism budget, I don't think the US had much negotiating power or a choice to not negotiate in that case. Ironic considering how many times that it's been the other way around.
