However Islamic Extremists are not quite at the level.
It is funny that Democrats and liberal's think negotiation and dialog fixes everything.

The IRA, supported by a lot of Americans even when they were bombing the streets of London and killing innocents, never gave up until the British Government negotiated with them. Other examples are all over the world to see and even the US won it's Independence from Britain with terrorism.
The Palestinians have genuine grievances. The country they lived in was taken over by European Jews and they were made second class citizens. Even when they were given their own country it is invaded by Israelis using any pretexts to take the land. Yes occupying land for "defence" does not include putting farms on it.
These grievances need to be resolved. The illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq needs to be resolved, if it can be, by negotiating with the people who will ive in the country after the West has gone.
Fortunately for most of the Muslim leaders they know what side their bread is buttered, the West side, and will make sure it stays buttered and often they will look after it if you spread some jam for them.
But you have to talk to them because killing them all is not an option.
Even Saddam could not manage that.
