Peace will come when one side or the other is beaten. .....

I’m as surprised to type this as I am sure you are to read this but I agree with you.

War will not stop in an area until one side feels that it has been beaten, until one side loses they will think that they can still win the war and will continue fighting.

You may get periods of relative calm as the two sides are separated by a third party (UN?) but once the world loses interest or looks away the fighting will start up.

Someone has to lose before there will be peace in the Middle East.

And for what it’s worth, the same will happen in Afghanistan, the anti government elements will stop fighting for a couple of months, the west will declare victory and go home and the Taliban will rise again.
