Absolutely,
> Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty. Tolerance is a social norm because it allows different people to live side-by-side without being at each other’s throats.
> But the model of a peace treaty differs from the model of a moral precept in one simple way: the protection of a peace treaty only extends to those willing to abide by its terms. It is an agreement to live in peace, not an agreement to be peaceful no matter the conduct of others. A peace treaty is not a suicide pact.
Saying of tolerance as a peace treaties, one need to note of peace treaties being subject to abuse.
If you have peace talks in between every artillery barrage, the one to win will be the fastest one to shoot, and then to call the press, UN, and international peace mediators
