Sorry for offtopic, but I gotta offtopic to his offtopic!
Yes, but the negotiations would have never happened if it wasn't for the war, the weak has no voice in this world, only when you kick ass people start paying attention
Imagine yourself with someone standing on your face, with his boots, and you try to say: Come on, lets sign a peace treaty! how laughable, how pathetic.
Get back up, fight back and give him a few bruises, only then he'll realize your true power, and figure out its best NOT to make an enemy out of you.
