I wonder if Michael Moore will now say that all Koreans are wimps because a black guy would have fought off his captors and escaped.

At the risk of stealing a march from the president of Colorado University, I've got a quiz for you:

What word describes these murderous Islamofascists and is also a valid word if you substitute the first letter with either of the two preceding letters of the alphabet?

Again;

Small explosive devices should be provided for those nice civilians who have volunteered to work in these shithole middleastern countries.

Exploding hostages would become very unpopular.

This poor fellow could have struck a blow to the enemy and made his countrymen safer at the same time.

That's my wack-nut idea of the week and I'm sticking to it.
Were you at the last meeting?
What did I tell you?

Maybe this is a little simplistic, but the appropriate South Korean response seems to be as plain as the nose on our faces.
If I'm the Prez of So. Korea, I say the following: "This is the sum total of my negotiation: If our countryman comes to any harm, we will increase our troop presence in Iraq by +1000. And 1000 more S. Korean troops will enter Iraq for every one S. Korean citizen who is murdered there. We shall see who reaches "critical mass" first."

To me, this should be the standard for all coalition partners, including the US, in all future "hostage situations."

Maybe this is too "black and white," but hey, thats just me...
