I really don't care about this hostage (apart from the fact that he's a human too). What I care about more is that there are Dutch troops there. Now that they know that hostage takings do indeed work, what's to stop them from taking a Dutch guy hostage???
The same goes for all the other countries that have send troops there. When will their citizens be abducted and then slaughtered in the hope that they'll withdraw too?
*That* is why you don't give in to terrorists: they'll go on doing the things that work.
