I disagree.
If we give in to them, it will only get worse because they will know it works.
The reason they keep pulling these stunts right now is for the fear and intimidation factor--which is working, hence they continue.
They know that most countries won't negotiate with kidnappers/terrorists. They continue right now for the effect, which is the only result they can hope to get.
We give in and you will see these kinds of acts increase exponentially. Because then they would be getting what they want plus more.
Why do you think that practically every government in this world has a "no negotiating" rule regarding terrorists (regardless how small the act)? Is it because they don't care about their own people? No. The rule is in effect because it is common knowledge what would happen if anyone where to give in.
