We (still) do not negotiate with terrorists

RTRS-BUSH, KARZAI AGREE SHOULD BE NO CONCESSIONS TO TALIBAN FOR RELEASE OF S. KOREA HOSTAGES-WHITE HOUSE


This is heartening in that it appears at the moment the President has not caved to the Taliban who are holding some dozen to two dozen South Korean missionaries - two of whom have already been murdered.

The Taliban are shrewdly trying to split South Korea of the Coalition by putting responsibility for the safety of the hostages at the feet of the United States. Unlike the Italians we still remember that negotiating with terrorists begets more terrorism.
