In war, things are decided by vanquishing the foe, not negotiation. The
Allies put Germany and Japan back to the Stone Age, and now they are our
fast friends. The conflicts between North & South Korea, the Jews and the
Arabs, Greece and Turkey, and almost all the rest that have been "settled"
by "cease fires" and "truce" are not really settled at all.

Well said.
