lets look at some facts.
Duryodhana poisions Bhima,and Bhima survives.Yudhishtira is too young to either forgive or take revenge.Also Bhishma must have given duryodhana some punishment.
In the dice game,it is yudhishtira who betted till the end and lost even draupadi.Its his addcition which should be blamed here.
So is he as forgiving as many claim.He fought the war,and killed all enemies,and got the kingdiom.He doesnt hesitate to kill enemies if necessary.
When duryodhana gave his kingdom after shalya's death,Yudhishtira didnt accept it.He talked about all of duryodhana's acts before and said he will not leave him.He asked to fight with one of the pandavas,and take his weapon of his choice.If he is killed he will go to veera swarga or heaven.If he wins he will get kingdom.
So he didnt forgive duryodhana.And since he cant kill an enemy who is not fighting,he wants him to fight.He knew that duryodhana will choose bhima's opponent.Although Bhima couldnt kill him in righteous manner,he had to slash the thighs to kill him.If he had agreed to take kingdom from duryodhna,then upapandavas would have been alive.Ashwatthama wouldnt have killed them as duryodhana asked.
