[Hail Caesar]

Brian Allen (your post #46), are these the hostages you are referring to? - You want them to "shoot" these children?

No, don't shoot that batch.

Let the islamists -- in the same way they've done every batch for the past 40 years -- do them.

Nah.

Shoot the batch after next.

I don't believe that anyone wants to kill hostages but, unfortunately, the Muslims have no regard for innocent life so we may have to risk hurting innocent people to get them...our own Air Force will be forced to shoot down hijacked planes filled with passengers if necessary...these fanatics use our own morality against us and we can't let their immorality paralyze us.
