The protagonists in the equation all believe that peace essentially means defeat as it means there is no winner. In addition, each group's own raison d'etre ceases to exist if peace ensues. Essentially, violence is the blood that runs in their veins. If there was peace, they would simply cease to exist. And of course, that can't happen. Similar to the way that India's existence shakes Pakistan's foundations, forcing Pakistan to invest heavily in trying to destabilize India, the protagonists aren't ever going to let themselves vanish into oblivion.
