Well, it worked before, why not try it again. Iraq has taken six more hostages -- three Indians, two Kenyans and an Egyptian -- and are threatning to behead them if their countries do not immediately announce the withdrawal of their citizens from Iraq. Apparently the beheadings will start at 8 p.m. (noon our time) on Wednesday if these countries to not comply to the rules Iraq is putting forth.
Definately puts the governments of these citizens in a compromising position. Do you pull your citizens out due to one person being held hostage? Yet, if you don't what are people going to say about your country, you may lose the confidence of your citizens. Not exactly easy questions to answer.
