The Taliban is threatening to kill 23 South Korean hostages if the Afghan government does not release 50 insurgents from prison.
And they will probably get there way because:
President Hamid Karzai in March authorized the release of five Taliban prisoners in exchange for a kidnapped Italian reporter, but called the trade a one-time deal. Karzai was heavily criticized for the move by the United States and European nations, who felt it would encourage more kidnappings.When you're right, you're right.
This is what happens when you concede to terrorists, they just keep asking for more.
Those 23 South Koreans just so happen to be Christians. We need to pray for them and for Karzai to do the right thing.
