These people look upon "negotiations" as a sign of weakness. The left will never believe this. We see it all over the world and here on this thread. Too bad. Agreed. A similar argument is going on about North Korea, raised to higher stakes by the nukes. Diplomats (professionally biased, naturally) and the Left believe that every situation is negotiable, must be negotiable. That no matter how crazy, paranoid, unreliable or vicious the other guy is, there must be some way to work with him. But sometimes the only way is not to work with him - to wait him out, hunker down, call his bluff. The Israeli Left (except a fringe) was able to come to this conclusion regarding Arafat. But the American and European Left seem unable to ever get there.
