To start off with, "compromise" is not a magic word or talisman that guarantees what all parties to a dispute will see as a positive outcome. Consider for a moment an extreme case where the allied powers agreed to meet the Third Reich half way and allow Adolf Hitler's forces to absorb only half of Europe and then exterminate 3 million Jews instead of 6 million.

Kind of an extreme example, granted, but it does underscore the fallacy that assumes compromise brings good results.
