Terrorism

Should governments negotiate with terrorists?

The question could also be posed,

"Should terrorists with governmental power negotiate with terrorists without governmental power?"

We live an illusion called democracy within what we call the international order, the head of state of which is G W Bush. Who in the world elected him? Not even the majority in the US! A small percentage.

Look what happened to Yugoslavia. They killed Milosevic at The Hague and no-one says a thing about it. But Serbia was the victim of a US-UK war machine that killed thousands of innocent civilians with massive terrorism. They even bombed the TV stations and killed dozens of workers there in Belgrade. Serbia never invaded anyone.

And really it doesn't matter if it is Bush or whoever comes after. As Malcolm X once said, "Violence is as American as apple pie."
