As bedstuy noted though, there are some enemies were there really is no room to learn from or negotiate with. I see no room to play peacemaker with a group like ISIS. We should learn the conditions that cause such groups to emerge and try to mitigate the root cause, but many are true believers in their worldview that is simply incompatible with ours.
As for 9/11 jokes, I suppose it all depends on what it is about and the angle. Laughing at people dying on something that hits close to home is something Im not into. However, laughter and comedy is a gift that can heal. It helps people cope and survive. A whole chapter of history need not be completley off limits.
