True. If your enemy refuses to make reasonable negotiations to cease hostilities and continually violates any agreements, then you annihilate that enemy.
In Afghanistan I still don't understand why first the Soviets were there pussy footing around and pissing off survivors in villages they tried to wipe out and then when efforts failed to Sovietize them they pulled out and we found an excuse to go in and start all over again with our own ideology. Why were Soviets there and why were we there? There must be a common objective beyond ideology which was to me looking like just an excuse.
