19 Korean hostages = USD 20 million?
i have to say something. although i understand that human lives are important, and that Seoul does want to get the hostages back, meeting the demands of the terrorist is just not the way to do it.
First, you are funding their terror campaign. USD 20 million is a lot of money to spend on weapons.
Second, believe it or not, you're encouraging terror groups a over the world to kidnap more hostages. by meeting demands, you are sending the message to terror groups that people are willing to pay to release hostages. now you may pay to release 19 hostages. it could be 190 the next time.
i'm not saying that we should not save hostages. i understand what their families and loved ones are going through. but this is funding the terrorists and encouraging them to kidnap.
this is just not the way.
but what's done is done. good to hear that the Korean hostages are released. i just pray that terror groups won't continue to kidnap more people
