It’s not obvious to me that giving in to present-time radicals reduces long-run/future radicalization.

I don’t claim that humans are perfectly rational in all activities, but appeasement hasn’t generally worked in the past.

That is not necessary the dilemma. The dilemma could also be whether to let "present time radicals" tease Washington war mongerers into doing something that is in the long term interest of the radicals.
