Re: Madrid Bomb Blast
Quote:
Other terrorists which have been successfully negotiated with, have all wanted a reasonable goal, whether it's freedom from an oppresive gov laws, or for their own country.
That's something that can be worked on, political pressure can be applied, give and take can happen, a comprimise can be reached, like apartite being abandoned in SA, or Israel returning the land it has stolen.
But when the terrorist just wants to kill you or convert you to their way of thinking, there's not much hope of negotiation. You can't have an agreement on only killing a portion, or only half converting people, it's an all or nothing situation.

Which is exactly my point, and one, it would seem, which Graham doesn't want to confront.
