The question is what is a desireable outcome here.

If you say freeing the hostages.......WRONG. A desireable outcome is
to minimize future occurences. This may be entirely different from
saving the hostages and not recognizing this fact will result in many
more deaths. Obama is not capable of understanding this. Paying
ransom is morally wrong because it results in more hostages being
taken. Thus, the actiuons of the rest of the world to this point have
been both morally and logically wrong and have brought us to this
point.

--------------------------

I would say that certainly a desirable outcome is to minimize future
occurrences, however......

Our culture values life. The purpose of law enforcement and the military
is to protect and secure civilian life. There have been many examples of
police, firefighters and military sacrificing more than one casualty or
fatality in the effort to save one civilian life.

The primary objective right now is to save the civilian hostage if at all
possible.
Once accomplished, it will be time to minimize future occurrences.

Only a complete asshole would think it ok to sacrifice the ship's captain,
especially after he exchanged himself to further the safety of this crew.

Try yes, most certainly they should try to save the captain. No question
there.

But letting them go is absolutely stupid.

I wonder how long it takes for a decent navy seal pair to pop out of the
water and empty a 9mm into some 4 or 5 pirates weak from no fresh water or
food? Can't be that tough.



You just gotta love right-wing keyboard warriors...
