You cant get in the way of progress
Oh by the way pandas those 2 giant statues need to go so we can build a oil depot HAHAAHAHAHHAH
Asymmetric warfare only really works if the stronger side has a face to lose and has to hold back. If both sides can go all out the smaller one will be vanquished. Take Afghanistan and the Russian invasion for example, the reason they lost were because they wanted the country AND people. Thus giving the ones opposing them a big mass of people to hide behind and to support them.
If they had just killed everyone that wouldn't have been possible and any kind of effective sabotage and paramilitaric action would've come to an end soon.
Even if the shadopan had the numbers to kick the horde out of the shrine the goblins would leave 'Presents' for the pandas all over the place
This is what happens when you don't play on the horde side.
First off, he did more than "give a quest" in krasarang, he's the main horde quest-giver there, and well over 3 questchains start and end with him. Secondly, he befriended anduin in Krasarang when they stumbled upon the temple of Chi-ji, also, he has been present elsewhere, he was there in Kun-lai along with anduin when they pleaded with the celestials to open the gates of the vale, and for the first 2 months, he was the highest-ranking horde officer in pandaria, and his sunwalker troops were the largest military horde presence in the entire continent. Yes, Nazgrim was a General, but most of the horde forces in the Jade Forest died, same goes for the alliance. After the battle at Jade's Serpent, there were only a handful of forces from Nazgrim's expeditionary force, as well as Taylor's so the Sentinels/Sunwalkers were the biggest presence of each faction on the continent.
So he's been in Krasarang, Kun-lai, Vale of Eternal Blossoms, Vale of the Four Winds (him and his sunwalkers go and help defend that town that gets besieged by that giant Mantid Colossus) and now Island of Thunder. Yes, I'd say he earned the right to be the horde's main guy in pandaria.
Por que odiar si amar es mas dulce? (*^_^*)
The pandas struggled against the Mantid with the might of the Mogu empire behind them, that's how there was enough power to build the wall and not get run over by the Mantid while doing so. Once the wall was in place, defending required a lot less man power and with the Mogu Empire gone, the Pandaren didn't require a large fighting force. So I wouldn't say that Shado Pan are very impressive, only in small skirmishes.
Without the Mogu Empire the Pandaren would probably be dead by now, there would have been no wall and strangely, the Pandaren owe Lei Shen, the Thunder King, their existence. Thunder King's infrastructure 'projects' gave the Pandaren before and today a fighting chance.
I don't think its so much that Dezco is being treated as the ambassador, more that Taran-Zhu was flying to confront the Horde at the Shrine and, hey, there's someone I recognize! So he weaves on down and hops off to talk to him. Good thing, too.
In regards to his statement that he would have ordered the Shado-Pan to purge the shrine, I doubt the Horde would have received a warning first; it would have been a bloodbath as uncoordinated horde civilians, soldiers, and mercenaries suddenly started dying left and right. I have no doubt that, with such a surprise attack, the Shado-Pan could have purged the shrine.
I also have no doubt that they would not have survived the fallout which would come afterwards.
"Tell them only that the Lich King is dead, and that World of Warcraft died with him."
It would make for an interesting scenario, especially if Dezco gave you a quest to return with Taran Zhu's head (assuming he survived but his children did not).
As it is, after Dalaran, I think I'd rather stay and kill the Shado Pan to the last rather than be kicked out of yet another city. I'm pretty damn tired of being punished for Garrosh's idiocy.

Dezco seems to be the highest ranking member of the horde in the Shrine; also he was on the first horde party to reach Pandaria and get to know the natives without being affected by the other faction. He was the horde representative during the argument to let horde and alliance into the Vale, so it makes sense that Taran goes to Dezco to discuss this.
I like Hellscream.
Thrall is a sissy, Vol'jin spammed me with emo mails.
ORC SUPERIORITY, THE REAL HORDE.
Pandas are a bit stupid anyway, the mogu kept them as prisoners yet they are happy to live in their buildings and have giant statues of them everywhere...if it was me i was at least take down or cover up some of the mogu artwork which shows the mogu enslaving the pandas -.-
"Tell them only that the Lich King is dead, and that World of Warcraft died with him."
Why do the gobbos keep mining when cata also gave the horde Tauren Paladins for solar power? :3
That's the Horde for you. No respect for the other races and their land.
What is with all the fuss anyway
Im sure the goblins wouldve refilled the hole and made it all pretty again with flowers and lollipops
Fuck you Garrosh!!!
