If you were held hostage by terrorists, would you want your government to
meet their demands to secure your release?
I'd
like it but I wouldn't get my hopes up for it.

My heart would
of course say yes, but my head say it would be a regrettable action.
Felicia,

Lowell, MA USA
No. But I'd
want my government to punish the terrorists even if I died with them.

Depends on
the demands and on how I was being treated, I guess.
Karen,

Ames, IA USA
Sure. I'd
like to survive.
Janet,

E. Brunswick, NJ USA
Of course
I'd want it if I were personally affected, but objectively I don't think
it is a useful policy.

Cave into
Terrorists? Of course not. In an Ideal World, I'd prefer to choose the
belief that I would die for, but if fate decrees I'm to die fighting terrorism,
sobeit.

I'm sure the
survival instinct in me would want this, but if the demands were totally
unreasonable (ie:deaths of many others) I would probably rather just be
the sacrificial lamb...and hope that I wasn't tortured!
Tam
Selfishly,
yes, I would. I'd feel even more strongly if it were my family members
being held hostage.
Laura,

Lowell, MA USA
Absolutely
not...we do not negotiate with terrorists...period.
