WHEN HAS DIALOGUE EVER DEFEATED EVIL?
Iconoclast ^ | William Grim

Excerpt----

So the question now is: When has dialogue ever defeated evil? Why is it that the proponents of "engaging in dialogue" never give one concrete example of its success? It is because no such examples exist?

Let's get realistic. We cannot negotiate away the cancer of Islamic terrorism. We cannot talk our way out of the evil that confronts us. We must destroy it utterly through the judicious use of our military might.

Peace conferences and treaties mean nothing to our enemies. Indeed, even the Prophet Mohammed himself signed a ten-year peace treaty with the Koreish, an enemy tribe. But after two years into the treaty, Mohammed's military position improved, and he invaded and slaughtered the Koreishites. Significantly, the abrogation of the treaty with the Koreishites is often mentioned by Yassir Arafat and other Muslim leaders as a model for Islamic "diplomacy."

Again, I ask the question: When has dialogue ever defeated evil?
