Actually, this was attempted. The US was willing to offer concessions. There was no demand for apologies or reparations. Negotiations fell apart over NATO's sole demand - the extradition of Al Qaeda leadership. In the end, the Sheik Omar would not agree to this.
And that's a pretty minimal sort of demand. "Turn over the guys who attacked us, to prove that you aren't on their side."
