"Black September" pretty much finished this concept off in 1972.
war stopped this past year on the ivory coast for the world cup!! its still a valid way to peace even if short lived...
Short lived means your enemy has time to reload.

So do you, which is something both sides take into considerations when negotiating a cease-fire that all parties know isn't permanent

So a cease fire that is good for 1 side will inevitably be bad for the other.

Of course, for it to be good for both side there would have to be peice and we both know that won't happen.
If they agree to a cease-fire that they aren't happy with they will have no one to blame but themselves. Naturally the side that feels they got the short end of the stick will blame others and break the cease-fire in the name of fairness....
Then we'll have another thread about a new war that really is a old war and we'll again be talking in circles.
