Don't agree Mq. Would you feel better if it were 10 rr 50 or 100 Americans (or substitute NZ'ers if you wish) that the gun-toting pirates had captured?
For a couple of hundred years now, anyone who captures a ship and either holds passengers/crew, and demands a ransom, or of course worse, kills anyone, then they are murdering pirate terrorists IMO.
The UN can't/ won't even agree on the definition of terrorist.
That ought to tell us something about the fate of the world if we go to one world government.
And yes, I think most Americans think that the President, now Obama because he is the President now, or any of our past Presidents, should have done more than answer the questions about the hostage situation on the sea with a "well, we're working on housing right now...."
Geeze, can you even imagine what the entire country, as well as the world would have said if GWB or any other President said the same thing President O did....????
At the very VERY least, he could have said "I know...terrible thing....we're working on it now." |
