Though the respective governments are in disagreement with each other, one must never be afraid to talk to one’s enemies in the world. Even if we can’t agree on everything, one should strive to make enemies friends. It makes for a more peaceful world.
Sensible dialog doesn’t kill people. Weapons do. The world should work towards disarmament.
