If one wants to fashion a peace there are only three methods -
Annihilation, Assimilation or Accommodation.
Annihilation is an easy enough concept to understand...in a conflict between US and THEM...just wipe THEM out.
Assimilation is more humane but takes quite a bit longer...the way to get rid of THEM is to make them US. This involves young men and woman fraternizing and eventually making something called a 'baby'. As the baby shares the gene pool of both US and THEM, THEM becomes US.
Accommodation isn't really a way to get rid of THEM...as such it can only be considered a 'temporary' peace. During accommodation either assimilation begins to occur or as history would more frequently tell us...US and THEM are merely taking a break in preparation for the next round of conflict. There is always going to be loud mouth demagogues trying to drum up a war between us and them.
As various people point to statistics on attacks and talk of things like drawdown we should keep in mind that without intermarriage there will be no lasting peace. The one statistic that seems to be missing is war brides.
I fear that it is do to the fact there aren't any.
