In a barbershop long ago I recall reading in a magazine of an incident during the Spanish Civil War.

Rebels took our consul in Barcelona and his family hostage. Roosevelt ordered a US Navy cruiser to enter the harbor and tell the dirtbags to release our people unharmed within 24 hours, or said cruiser would start wasting the city.

Consul and family were released pronto.

That is the way to deal with barbarians.
