" In every war there has ultimately at some point been negotiation."
I am sure that is untrue, but what is easily apparent is that most wars have been ended by surrender under terms dictated by the victors. Those terms may or may not have included the most meaningless and perfunctory of negotiations.... but the idea that you cannot kill (I assume "annihilate" was your little euphemism) your way to victory, however pleasant and sweet it may be, is both weak and false.
Of course talking is better. But Islam wants its worldwide caliphate....
And I don't.
Do you always see the events of the past in such a black and white way? No one side doesn't always win mostly both sides lose. One side may come to that realisation quicker than the other is all. Negotiation has saved countless lives, more than any war has.
As for your 'caliphate' comment this just shows you're not even bothering to separate the moderates and the extremists of one religion from one another. The Islamic faith is one of the world's most popular, widespread and practiced religion, deal with it.
The problem with the American psyche is that it's been addicted to wars since the end of world war two, it wasn't always like this and it doesn't have to continue to be like it either.
