Good points. Still, I would imagine that a terrorist who's willing to destroy himself for his cause is beyond negotiation. The gravity of the demands that would cause a person to destroy thousands of innocent civilians aren't the sort of demands that A) can be compromised at a middle ground, or B) are reasonable to concede to, even temporarily. I'm under the impression (the IRA being the exception) that terrorist organizations are beyond compromising. It's down to all or nothing. Israel and Palestine demonstrate this mentality. Middle ground concessions that seem reasonable to the rest of the world are insulting to both sides there. Peace talks are best saved for reasonable world leaders between reasonable world leaders. Reasoning with the unreasonable is a sound lesson in futility.
