| That is a good point Patrick. The victor may see resolution but unless the opponent is completely eliminated all one has is the seeds for a later war. WWI did not resolve the issues. It just created WWII. And WWII didn't resolve the issues it just created the cold war. And now that people have decided to stop fighting and negotiate with each other they are about to achieve through diplomacy that which has never been accomplished through war, a united Europe. The hope of diplomacy is that both sides can come out winners whereas in war there are at best winners and losers and usually both sides are losers. Many a nation has waited for two rivals to spend themselves on war and then just move in and conquer them both.
