"Negotiations" with North Korea during the 90s made them a nuclear power.
"Negotiations" with Hitler during the 30s emboldened him because he swore he'd stop after the Sudetenland (sp?).
"Negotiations" between Isreal and Arafat led to 97% of the land the Palestinians were demanding being offered to them, but it wasn't good enough because land wasn't the goal of Arafat.
Diplomacy is fine. Diplomacy, however, when performed by the naive, makes things much, much worse. This is my fear.
