Bin Laden's (alleged) offer of a truce with Europe was spurned by Western leaders as "unthinkable." Twenty years ago the west was allied with these same people. Not only was a truce "thinkable" - a full fledged alliance was put in place! When Bin Laden & company were fighting against the Soviets they were "freedom fighters" and great allies against "evil," but now that the sides have changed they are instead portrayed as irrational fanatic terrorists who cannot be reasoned with. If the west could make an alliance with them in the '80s then surely negotiating a peace with them in the 21st century is within the bounds of the thinkable.
