yeah, but in the first instance you described both parties are really only doing what is in their best interest. they aren't compromising for the sake of it, it's just that the means of compromising provides their best end (avoiding the slaughter of their own people). i think you and i, will, are in general agreement. compromise being a tool to craft the end-product and not the product itself.
