BTW Fascists are very anti-war/hegemony/unilateral aggression. Just a reminder.
If we're talking negotiating with terrorists, are we talking some sort of weird deal that got a deserter back and then turned like 5 or 6 Al Qaeda guys back over . . . . who immediately went back and, wait for it . . . rejoined Al Qaeda? Are we talking about dumping billions on the tarmac of a nation state that openly supports multiple terrorist networks and their attacks on other nation states, and the same nation state has clear ballistic missile and nuclear weapons ambitions?
Or are we talking about negotiating with people so as to get them to back off and allow a government to govern their country? BTW, in case you didn't notice those talks have been called off and we're right back to dumping 2,000 pound bombs into mountains, so no need to worry about this.
