We can intellectually argue this for a month, bottom line is the hard-core Arab terrorists groups really don't care what country your from or if the particular country you are from supports the war on terror when it comes to taking hostages.
Most if not all have little if any clue about "appeasement 1938". All they see and understand is what they want to see or more specifically what their particular holy man wants them to see or understand. That's one reason why they only seem negotiate when they are looking down the barrel of a M1A1. This also seems to be part of the reason the dictators in that part of the world are barbaric by Western standards. I hope France is lucky and gets their hostages back safely, I doubt they do but I sincerely hope I'm wrong.
I also sincerely doubt pouring more money in over there to attempt to convince them we are great people will do any good. Each and every one of us donates money to them and their misguided causes every single time we pump our automobiles full of gasoline and it has gotten us nowhere.
And just asking, but wasn't the real reason France, Germany and Russia didn't want to invade Iraq was because they all had secret deals with Saddam and they was all on the take from the Oil for Food programs? Also didn't Saddam Hussein owe billions to those three countries from those secret deals that they stood to lose if Saddam was tossed from power? Didn't it in fact have little to do with "the americans do not have a coherent case for invading iraq"? Even John Kerry admits he would have invaded Iraq with the very same intelligence that Bush seen. John Kerry even says we done the right thing, well on some days, then on others he says we didn't, just depends on what side of the bed he gets out that day of I guess.
