Doesn't matter. Of course your talking to someone who firmly believes you cannot, nor should you try, to negotiate with terrorists. That will only embolden them to continue to do the same crap because they got their way the first time.
I feel the same way with pirates. They keep at it, because they were successful the first time, and the time after that, and the time after that, etc etc. At some point you have to draw a line and say, "No further" - and the thing is, when you say that, you better mean it, and have the courage of conviction to follow through. Otherwise, nothing will change.
I also refuse to live in fear because some skinny man in Africa might become a bombing toting terrorist if his boat is shot under him. (nevermind he won't survive the 50 cal barrage i wish was used). On that note, if i had my way, every terrorist caught..... id have the buried face down, pointing away from mecca, have the grave filled with pig blood, entrails, and other bits, and then id televise it on F'ing TV. Just to make an example of what happens when you screw with us.
You know what.. Sean Connery said it best:
