p.s. never try to trade with an unreformed communist and expect life to stay the same or improve (they don't like advancement, and only value the equality of poverty), and never try to negotiate a weapons-free peace as a non-Muslim with die-hard Muslim neighbors (they don't like the idea of sharing a planet with anyone that's not Muslim or a financial/physical slave of a Muslim). either attempt is doomed to fail, and both are equally likely to be fatal in the forseeable future.
