Killing innocent civilians is a crime against humanity. We will never allow them succeed. God bless all innocents murdered in terror attacks.

But then we did vote out the Liberal party and we are staying in Afghanistan for the time being so some of us are trying. I generally like South Korea despite their wishy washy approach to the North but if they have money to pay ransoms maybe it is time for them to adopt the entire responsibility for the security of their northern border. And as a non-religious person I feel odd defending Christian missionaries trying to spread their religion (if that is actually what they were doing, I don't know all the details for certain) but they were doing what they believed that their religion requires of them. If the Taliban can use this excuse then Christians can as well and it leads to fewer corpse when they do it. The fact that the government showed weakness to the Taliban is the choice of the government not the fault of the missionaries. Saying that their presence caused the "necessity" of a ransom absolves the Taliban from responsibility. The Nomad: ”[W]hen Canada criticises you for being soft on terrorism, you’re in big trouble.”
