Oh, I've got no problem with them protecting themselves. They should! But am I the ONLY one who thinks that there is NO courage whatsoever---from the hostages OR the families---being demonstrated here? (Again, the one Italian guy is the BIG exception.)
Well, there may be others who think that too, I don't know...I'd be a mass of nerves,,speaking for myself, don't know how "brave" I'd appear..hoping against hope things will turn out.
You gotta give that American guy credit who actually escaped,,I can't remember his name. That was WAY cool.
I certainly don't believe in ransoms...I hope the Italians didn't pay a ransom after all. I think that sets a terrible precedent.
