Compromise" is so often used in a bad sense that it is difficult to remember that properly it merely describes the process of reaching an agreement.

For instance, there must be no compromise under any circumstances with official corruption, and of course no man should hesitate to say as much.

I find the sort of unwitting European American outsider who wants to come to Africa to help is a very problematic construction. It's problematic because you don't want to tell people don't aid, don't help, when people feel a need to.

The agreement is fundamentally that we want to try to resolve this. The agreement is that ISIL is a threat to everybody, and we need to come together to find a way to fight ISIL. The agreement is that we want to save Syria, keep it unified, keep it secular. So surely in those very fundamental principles on which we could agree.
