Unfortunately Peace Literature Does Not Start With A Statement Of What A Government Should Hold Truly Essential And Non-Negotiable In Any Peace Negotiation, Nor Discusses What Is Negotiable To The Benefit Of The Other Party; Rather, Peace Literature Is Like Rules For A Playtime Tea. This Is Fitting As The Grown-Ups, And The Government, Just Want To Remain In Charge, While Looking Good, Although Actually Having No Articulable Principles (Applicable To Both Parties) To State Because They Know No Other Way To Achieve Popularity Or At Least Incumbency.
