Who is "good" and who is "bad"? I really can't tell, and I don't care. All I know that it's time to negotiate, and without a bunch of stupid conditions which in practice will make it impossible to ever come to the negotiation table. As it's now, they can't even agree upon what shape the negotiation table shall have. To call this behavior childish, is demeaning to the children.

I want to know how you negotiate with someone whose only goal is to kill you and who doesn't mind dying in the process. IMHO, this doesn't provide much room for negotiation.
