Exactly sometimes the error needs to be worked out and it lies with the other person(party) and no amount of EMPATHY, REASONING or COMPASSION could sort the problem and would probably even mess things up further for the worse.
The problem with pacifist or peace activist is that they try to relate to the enemy with empathy but the problem with empathy is sometimes the other party is not really comparable to you.
The psychology of people in power or absolute power or corrupt in power are totally different than the psychology of an average people.
Like it or not countries are governed not by its people but by a select individuals who hold power and able to wield it to influence the people either by approval or coercion and often these people are not common people, psychologically speaking.
But it is easy for us and the writer of the article to talk with the benefit of HINDSIGHT.
