Because everyone has to give a little bit.
And they all suddenly forget that they are also getting a lot more in the end.
Usually, in most deals, not all the interests and variables have the same importance to all the parties involved. This allows you to offer something less important, for something more important in return.
What that really means, is that it is possible achieve a win-win scenario (It is NOT a zero sum game) even though all sides complain because they simply do not want to give (((anything))) to the opposing side.
Any negotiated deal will always be presented as appeasement, surrender, failure, a betrayal by some. Perceptions (even though you can show your side is a net winner) are hard to argue.

War is destruction.
War does NOT create wealth. It destroys it.
It only creates wealth for a very small percentage of society while the larger society suffers economically on top of the death and destruction.
War is NOT what the political ruling class should strive for. The Julius Cesar type leader grandstanding with war should be shunned.
It is merely a last resort in those cases where conflict cannot be avoided because of the consequences. In these cases, you need to be sure it is a just conflict. Cliff notes version: https://i0.wp.com/sites.duke.edu/lawfire/files/2020/02/Ethics10.jpg

Hezbollah took to the streets, NYT means. That much is clear from the videos. Everyone is on motorbikes (something that IRGC always does) with passengers waving various Hezbollah flags and AK-47’s.
It’s just been reported that US troops are headed to Southern Lebanon to help the Lebanese Army control the area. What the hell is Trump doing involving US troops in this mess?
If this works, it would be a good thing. But Israel should only withdraw from an area if its troops are replaced by the Lebanese military, not leaving it empty and allowing Hezbollah to return. And of course there is no reason to send American troops. But America could help in other ways.
