Comments:Two British hostages feared dead after bodies found in Iraq

It really is quite scary that a private contractor with four private security guards can still be kidnapped. Also, that the British government can't/won't help. Dotty•• |&#9742; 16:38, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

It's very sad. One man suffers for the decisions of his country. Even more sad is the extremes taken by the Iraqi people to have their country back. No one is right or wrong in a war, remember it's all killing and it's all greed.

The terrorists had one completely unreasonable demand, their was no other possible outcome of this. And not negotiating with terrorists has long been policy for most western nations. This is not the first time this has happened, not just for British individuals, but for people from a wide variety of nations. The state did the right thing by not risking national security for the fate of two men, who were there of their own free will, not the will of the state.81.153.13.250 (talk) 20:47, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

It's really tragic, but no country should ever negotiate with terrorists. You simply can't reason with groups or institutions that apply violent coercion. Furthermore, co-operating or negotiating with terrorists is a concession that their methods are effective. Once someone becomes their hostage, they're already dead. 70.153.98.139 (talk) 22:29, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
