Yep. It's one of the short-circuits in human logic patterns.
LOL.
Which is why you typically have to inflict wholesale slaughter until there's just nothing left to resist you but a few million people who have a look in their eyes like the German or Japanese people did after WWII.
Shame. Crushing defeat. Total capitulation.

"For a war to be won, it is not enough for one side to claim victory. It is also necessary for one side to admit defeat. Yet in the Arab-Israeli wars, the side that had won every time was not allowed to claim victory, while the side that had lost was prevented from admitting defeat. Why? Because each time the United Nations had intervened to put the victor and the vanquished on an equal basis and lock them into a problematic situation in the name of a mythical quest for an impossible peace."
~Amir Taheri
