What brave and courageuos men are these Taliban----So proud to be able to destroy lives of innocents as a means to communicate their needs and wants!
And, if the women in their lives are clumsy in their relationships with other men, they must be sacrificed by violent means to make the world know that Taliban men are brave and strong and violent and should be listened to! How noble!!!

Perhaps it is time to start playing the game by Taliban rules which seem to be mostly old testament based. One suspected Taliban for each hostage seems fair or perhaps good old Roman decimation plus burial in a pig skin. If a few mistakes are made so what?
One has to ask the question of why, given what the US has/is doing for South Korea are the Koreans so faint hearted in supporting the US? The other question that has to be asked is why were the Koreans in such a danger zone to begin with? Surely they knew the risks?

Time to start playing by Taliban rules, one Taliban for each Korean. The question has to be asked what were the Koreans doing there in the first place and why did Afghan authorities issue visas to begin with? Another question that has to be asked is why is South Korea so faint hearted in supporting the US given what the US has/is doing to support South Korea.

What a difference between the early Christian Martyrs and the 'New Christians'.
While early Christians were tortured for their faith and went to their death bravely , this new batch of Christian missionaries are seen pleading and cowering for their lives.
It was the zeal of the early Christians that people admired and catapulted the tiny religion to prominence.
This new Christianity is weak.
Compare that to the zeal of Muslim extremist and you can see why the Christian religion is on the decline.

were the Korean hostages there to provide aid only? Or were they part of a military force?
Weak Christians? im not christian, but why didnt mention the muslims peeing their pants and pleading for their life when being barked at by dogs?

Why doesn't South Korea just go in and militarily recover their citizens? Oh, that's right, they'd first beg and plead with the US taxpayers to finance that operation and expect American families to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers to carry out the mission.

The blame game is convenient for anyone who is actively working towards NOT solving their own problems.
