Quote by Daniel Pipes

Diplomacy in general does not resolve conflicts. Wars end not due to peace processes, but due to one side giving up.

Diplomacy in general does not resolve conflicts. Wars end no

Summary

This quote suggests that the primary driver behind the resolution of conflicts and the end of wars is not diplomatic efforts, but rather the eventual surrender or concession of one side involved. It implies that diplomatic negotiations and peace processes may be insufficient to bring about a resolution unless one party is willing to give up or compromise significantly. Therefore, it implies that diplomatic efforts alone may not be enough to end conflicts, as they often require a shift or change in the stance of one side to achieve a true resolution.
