So you think we should negotiate with the Taliban and Al Quaida? Yes, and I believe we did. They didn't listen and direct action had to be taken. There are only so many countries you can invade though and have people killed. WW111 is NOT what I want. Education is an important key to unraveling the cycle of violence. I would negotiate the right to educate the young kids right away. I understand folks who don't feel the generosity of such moves. Most of the time I just wanted the bombers killed. But over time, education is/was the solution. Here is an excerpt on the NI conflict. (we are talking about folks who captured people of the other side, tortured them for the amusement of an audience in a bar, before killing their victims) "Like other prisoners on both sides, he began studying for a college degree. As he talked to other inmates, his political thinking developed, and he became more confident that progress, not destruction, was the way to help his community." geocities.com
