>>The silly argument about not negotiating with terrorists is really just a cliche<<

Psychology 101 says its not a cliche. Humans, like animals respond to negative reinforcement and positive reinforcement.

I would argue that there is very sound reasoning, that is very basic to human nature, for not rewarding terror.

Unless the world gets ridded of terrorism, this kind of outrage will continue. I agree...I had the same stomach reaction as well....

<<"That makes my stomach churn on reading it.">>
See the carnage these radicals have caused. Sadly, they will die quickly. However, the only way to stop terrorism is to kill terrorists. Many bleeding hearts will have a problem doing that, even in this country.
