While I rejoice for those freed, I also mourn for those who will suffer because of our continued policy of appeasement and rewarding hostage taking. Who will be the next to be arrested and held on obviously trumped up charges until we hand over legitimate criminals and/or spies?
Our policy should be to expel five Russian diplomats for every American seized as a hostage. And if that doesn't work, then simply break diplomatic relations and impose a Cuba like trade embargo on Russia. But of course we won't do anything so drastic, because, well you know, we have to "keep talking" no matter the provocation.
Putin has our number and knows there is basically nothing he can do that will push us too far. I for one, am sick of kowtowing to this thug.
