Railway, I believe in basic freedom. Sean Penn has the right to be an ass and stroll around Iraq before a war, but he shouldn’t expect his country to hesitate dropping a bomb on his ass were he to be used as a human shield.

If we start denying right to people for doing dangerous stuff then you start getting onto the slippery slope of: people can mountain climb, smoke, sky dive, eat fatty foods etc…

“They had no right to court danger like they did.”

I just can’t fathom why someone would reach this conclusion. Yes we all have rights and particularly the right of self determination. We have the right to do dangerous things, and we must live with the consequences.

First and foremost it was the Talibans fault for taking hostages, followed by the governments for bothering to negotiate despite having released themselves from any responsibility to protect them in warning them not to go there.
