Peloni: The more harmful than useful skills of the Peace Processors returns once again to add its weight towards teaching the next generation of amateur negotiators how best to steal victory from the jaws of defeat, only to find that their tried and true techniques of half measures with a more than extra dose of ‘let’s trust the terrorists’ leads to peace being elusive as ever, and still terribly lethal. Indeed, instead of more of the same, what is needed to secure peace, if indeed such an outcome is even possible, is the full rejection of the radicals which are routinely placated, isolating them politically, and making their survival something quite difficult rather than being assured of ultimately taking control once again. Jihadism must be rejected outright, all sentiments towards terror must be crushed immediately, land must be ceded (by the terrorizing Jihadists) and the centers of support for Jihadist power, such as Doha and Tehran, must be leveled to demonstrate that their duplicity and persistence in pursuing terror comes at a terrible cost, rather than offering them another reward of rinse, repeat, terrorize. Failing uphill seems to be an art easily mastered by the Washington elites, even the latest version, but following the same mistakes will only change the names of the innocent Jews who will pay the price for Washington’ s resistance (read as refusal) to learn that their continued hubris and folly should be shunned rather than hallmarked.
