why doesn't the U.S Government leaders have a sit down with the Extremist leaders and communicate with dialog

Question

have a meeting. try the diplomatic approach and try to be civil. have they ever tried that.

Answer 1

That's the problem with terrorists. Who are the leaders? Can they really speak for everyone? How do they enforce their decisions? These people are scattered around the world, they answer to no nation, and they are driven by hate. Any leader who agreed to peace would probably be immediately murdered and his place taken by someone else.

Answer 2

Who would be invited to the "sit-down"? Would the Sunni, Shiia, and Kurds be civil enough to sit in the same room? Then, you'd have to invite Iran because they are reportedly furnishing terrorists and weapons to insurgents. Syria is also furnishing killers, and some have come from Saudi Arabia. You can't leave out the Taliban or Al Qaida , and now Hezbollah has joined the mix. You'd also need chairs for Afghanistan and Pakistan. Then, if the U.S., Spain, Italy and Britain come, you could get started. I probably left some out, but this is what the mess in the middle east is about. If you want more dialog with No. Korea, China and Russia, you should probably schedule another meeting, or a bigger room! Meanwhile, where is BIN-LADEN?

Answer 3

In Iraq there actually have been some dialog with insurgents. Some former al Qaida supporting Sunnis have switched sides too. So there are some dialogs, but rarely. It's pretty risky too since after we help them, arm them with weapons they could turn against us some point in future. Much like Osama who was once supported by CIA turned against the US. Generally dialogs with extremists are not practical and almost impossible. It can only happen if those extremist or enemies reach out to us first. Kind of like some of the things we've seen in Iraq. One can exploit enemies' internal conflicts and use that to make friends and tear apart their organizations. Still, very risky thing to do. Never 100% guarantee on any alliances. Middle East is very volatile. Extremely unpredictable place too.

Answer 4

They always try and reason with the extremists, but it never does any good. When they make a promise, they will break that promise. You just cannot trust those extremist leaders. They lie to there own people, you think we should trust them? Look at Mohmoud Ahmadinejad, the dictator of Iran, he said in 2005, that Israel should be "wiped off the map" Can we trust him, not to develop nuclear weapons?..I don't think so..Good Luck..

Answer 5

The Extremist Leaders have to be found first and driven out of their hiding. The poor idiots who through their life by suicidal attacks are not the ones who count.

Answer 6

Extremists -by their very deffinition, are almost NEVER civil. They prefer to negociate with bombs & bullets- not words & treaties. It's either THEIR WAY -or the Highway. And that's a "road" that very FEW people are willing to take...

Answer 7

It has been tried time and time again. North Korea promised the Clinton administration (see Madlin Albrecht) that they would not build nukes but they never stopped working on it. That is but one example.

Answer 8

extremists dont negotiate. Theyd probably set up the meeting and right as our side is pulling in ambush and kidnap our officals
