    what annoyed me there was a small thing ..... the recycling of that old lie that "most wars " or sometimes "all wars " are decided by negotiation .

    maybe (or not) we can put this one to bed forever:

    When Hitler killed himself the allies were 1 km away near the centre of Berlin - does that sound like a negotiated settlement ??
    When the russ bugged out of Afghanistan was that negotiated ?
    Or the yanks in Vietnam ?
    Did the Iraquis negotiate or were they simply beaten ?
    Japan were going to fight to the end ....until they were nuked ....you could argue they surrendered before they HAD to - but it was unconditional surrender ....not negotiated settlement .
    First world war the same .
    The communists over the Kuomntang .
    etc

    Two obvious negotiated settlements come to mind .....the vast majority of wars decided militarily ....NOT by negotiation .

    Lt- stopped spreading this lie !
    (and all the others - tell me I'm wrong )
