Once 3 is beaten up, 1 and 2 are already friends. |
It has been my experience that once 3 beats 2 and 1 up and leaves, that the first one to get up again (between 1 and 2) will pick up a rock and bash the other's unconcious skull in. Then they'll wait until 3 falls asleep and repeat the process.

Actually more than in comparison to the war violently ending.
If you can't erase deep hate with actions, how useless do you think diplomacy and words would be?

This is the crux of the debate between Lelouch and Suzaku's ideologies at the start of the series. People will die one way or another, either because change happens too quickly, or because it doesn't happen quickly enough.
The thing is, at the start of the series, Lelouch and Suzaku have almost no power. By the ZR arc, they rule half the world, and the other half called Lelouch the Emperor of Justice. The UFN was going to accept him, until he went crazy on them.
Hate is irrelevant. Most real world countries still dislike and distrust each other at best, but they get along anyway thanks to diplomacy.
You seem to be the one who thinks reality is nicer than it really is, not blade.
