The only downside is can you rationalize that Osama is the leader of the entire middle east?
"Ok enough is enough, your people are dying, our people are dying and were no further ahead than were were yesterday or the day before. We are calling immediate cease fire and ask you (osama?) to do the same, we will lift trade sanctions against the middle east as a gesture of good will.
we want [insert whatever it is] ,what is it you want? can we strike a deal
suitable to both of us?"
No, instead they say "we will not negotiate with terrorist", but they did not negotiate before they were terrorist!
Terrorism must be fought not with guns and bombs but with education.
It must be fought not in the battlefeilds but in the classrooms of the world.
It must be taught by example, not by daisycutter bombs.
Great idea. What do you think we could possibly offer them in return for changing their extremist views?

Exactly, the "powers that be" refuse to negotiate a peaceful solution and fair trade because they deeply beleive in the "might is right" mentality.

Yo, instar?
Who the hell we "negotiating" with, dude? A state? A nation? A national leader? Who, instar?
You cannot "negotiate" with militant extremism, they simply kill ya or hey, cut your head off! Good grief, "negotiate"?!
Tell that to Israel and Palestine, k?
Talk about a frailin' "red herring"?!
"Negotiate"......
Okiiiiiiiiiie doooookie.
seekerof
We have relations with Iran, Syria, Indonesia, Egypt, Suadi Arabia, talks with the Palestinians, etc, etc.....!
As such, instar, do you see them "dealing with their own"?
These nations sponsor and distribute their own brands of militant extremism and terrorism, but hey, they can "deal with their own'" huh?
Again, instar, who are we negotiating with?
Lets take Al-Qaeda for example: who we negotiating with here? In what nation? What country? How about Hamas? Who we negotiating with here? Islamic Militant Movement? Etc., etc.
Oh, you must be refering to when Clinton had a number of opportunities to take out or capture Bin Laden and didn't, huh? Is that the type thing your refering to when you mention: "If you have one tree with disease you dont destroy the whole orchard"?
As to hiding behind the fallacy that terrorist hate Americans....get a grip, k?
You hide behind the fallacy that terrorist hate americans because allah told them to. Why do they call you capitalist pricks? Whats behind that? oil? why do they really attack you? look behind the rhetoric.
You fight fire with fire
You keep mentioning oil. Have you seen where that "oil" has benefitted anyone yet? Thought not.
