Hey I'm just deflating a bit of jingoisitc bullshit... the kind of feel good tripe that goes around in emails along the lines of "we don't negotiate with terrorists".
Sorry to strip away the bs but South Korea was ALREADY sending those troops, part of the negotiation the hostage takers had with SK gov representatives was to retract the pledge to add the 3000 troops by August. Ie, "get your troops out and don't send the extra guys or we kill this guy" they said no.. he got killed. Then you get idiots making up feel-good bullshit like "because of this we're sending guys over to fuck you up now!" "yeah this is the way to deal with terrorism - send 3000 more troops for every hostage killed!!!"
Which all sounds nice if you're totally ignorant of the facts.
PS this line:
"We will not differentiate civilians from terrorists because we have no way of knowing the differences between the two."
pretty much ensures that no one of any importance actually wrote this and it's probably the ramblings of some 17 year old redneck annoyed he can't get laid by the fat bitch at dunkin' donuts.
