I understand your point and it is a good one.
But consider that history shows that keeping the cork in the bottle indefinitely serves to build pressure to the breaking point.
“Diplomacy” that keeps things all nice and purdy on the surface does little to nothing to resolve underlying tensions. And when those tensions finally get to a certain level, they let go all at once.
Muslims and civilized people are incompatable. There is over 1000 years of history proving that. All diplomacy with muslims does is give them time to rearm. Their teachings say so in those terms.
War is always an ugly thing. But sometimes the occasional fighting on the small scale avoids it on the larger scale...a pressure valve as it were. But ultimately muslims WILL cause war. Their history shows it. World history shows it. we can deal with this now or let it become worse for our children, when they have more nukes than they do today.
Norm, read what I wrote below. See if that alters your take on things.
