They think(erroneously) that by grabing these people they can change the outcome. I think they saw from the Japanese Prime Ministers example that we do not negotiate. We only demand release of the hostage. They tried this tactic in Lebannon with American hostages. Ronald Reagan stated repeatedly that he does not negotiate with hostages. You would think these idiots see how tough President Bush is and that his reaction is the same. Arabs are liars. I won't believe Mr Hamill is okay until he is actually released and is back in American hands. I continue to pray for him and encourage others to do the same.

I do and shall continue to pray. How petty are the concerns of my life when I open my eyes to the world and others.
