That's one of the reason you usually don't start a conflict with murdering every single one of the people you want to negatiate your enemies surrender with, it sets up terrible incentives for future negotiations with their successors if you can't choose them.
"Surrender, for one."
That ship sailed when the last crop of leaders were mulched. The only way to make sure the US doesn't repeat that whenever is to show the US there are consequences. It's really not that difficult to understand. They tried dealing rationally with the US, how did that go?

Sorry, I was unclear, I'm not a firefighter, it's a moniker we use for the people at my job (very much an office job) who like the job best when things happening and not when it's business as usual.

Stages = stakes
At my job we say that we who love it when it's urgent, important, and stages are high are "firemen". We abide life in the station house, but we live for the times when we get to go out in our truck and put out fires.
