I understand that Christians may be called to go into unsafe parts of the world. However, they, their families, and their fellow missionaries must understand that the government is not going to release captives in a hostage exchange if they are captured.
NATO and the Afghan government should attempt to discover their location and free them militarily as part of their war against these terrorists, however they should not even consider bargaining with the terrorists for the release of the missionaries.
The missionaries need to understand that going in.
Agreed. Speaking from personal experience, the US State Department makes it abundantly clear the US citizen is own his own when visiting areas like Afghanistan. Read your passport. I don't know what the South Korean government tells her citizens, but I suspect it is pretty much the same thing.
