No one but the most selfish and stupid can feel anything other than
compassion for the Korean Christian hostages held under imminent
threat of death in Afghanistan. Mostly composed of doctors and nurses,
their only crime appears to have been a misplaced confidence that they
were doing the Lord's work by coming to minister the sick and injured
of Afghanistan. Instead they fell into the hands of the Taleban,
believers in one of Islam's more evil perversions of the Prophet's
message, in particular that women, regardless of race or belief must
never be harrassed, hurt or murdered.

I have come to believe that killing other people achieves nothing but
retaliation, but in the case of the Taleban, this is a group which
really should be hunted down and destroyed. The kidnappers' demands
alone - freeing captured Taleban; cash for returning the kidnapped
civilians; and the threat of execution for the group - one has already
been murdered to make their point that they are serious - places them
well outside the tenets of Islam and marks them for what they really
are - criminals.

Well said, Sir !
