Ok but history has shown us that dictators/despots will generally agree to just about anything only to renege at a later date and start the entire process over in a different area.Not at all but we need to open communications, start diplomacy. I didn't think we should let them have Crimea but the pecedent was set then... We should not corner someone with nukes and just wait to call thier bluff or continue to watch innocent lives die without some sort of compromise, treaty, peace accord...diplomacy! I don't see any other way, well I can see other ways but all are very high risk.
