The Taliban's Korean Christian Hostages

Twenty-two young Christian missionares from Korea went to Afghanistan, I suppose to prosleytize Afghanis to become Christians.

It was a fool's errand, to be sure. All the young missionaries accomplished was to be abducted off their bus by the Taliban and used as bargaining chips by the barbarians. Now one of the group has been murdered by the Taliban, who promises to kill the rest if captured Taliban fighters are not released.

Christian missionaries would do well to stay out of harm's way and out of the den of evil known as the Middle East, at least while the region remains overwhelmingly ruled by barbarians. They need to stay out of the way until our troops finish cleaning out this nest of vipers. The presence of naive do-gooders does more harm than good, since their major contribution is to supply the enemy with hostages and new victims to murder. We are not amused.
