You don't? that is the thing, how do you negoiate with people who think they know it all. Refuse to listen to reason, because their way is right, or your on to the hwy.

People who are animals, have no compassion, no humanstic traits, of feelings what so ever, a terrible essence from within, how do you reason with the likes of these people. One word, NO you don't. People who would sacrifice, the innocent, for their own sick twirpy pleasure, you do not negoiate with at all. How do you reason with evil.

Agree. Change has to come from the deep-rooted passion for freedom from within their borders.

If their women and moderate men (if they even exist in that part of the world) don't fight and are willing to die for it, they have to live with it.

We can't help them.

Why is this such a surprise? We're talking about a group that straps bombs onto mentally retarded individuals.

Difference is one is accidental, a common part of war, while the other is completely intentional.
