Jailer's dilemma

We will never negotiate with terrorists.

        Then free us. Only then can we reach a just agreement.

How can we trust you?

        You have no choice.

We have guns and police and jails.

        You cannot imprison the people’s spirit.

It is not their spirit we need, merely their hands and minds.

        Those will desert you too, in time.

What kind of agreement do you seek?

        One to free us all from oppression, prejudice and hatred.

What if you die?

        Others will replace me.  

What do you want from us?

        That we become equal partners, and that your words become deeds.
