Not really sure what talking to him has achieved to date. Square root of fuck all as far as I can see
Dialogue is always important even if it's only paying lip service initially. The Tories spent 10 years secretly meeting with the IRA (and Corbyn gets shit for doing it not in secret). It helped pathe the way to the good friday agreement.
Similar dialogues happened more recently in Iraq and Afghanistan, with different outcomes and objectives.
Pretty sure you won't be able to find a war that ended without initially futile diplomatic efforts.
