Terrorism's Victory

When news of this "trade" first appeared, a great sense of unease occurred. You very well articulated what so many have felt. This is a loss to freedom loving people everywhere in the United States, Israel and the civilized world. Concessions to terror don't work, but only encourage additional terror and terror related kidnappings. We all agree that the world is a less dangerous place with the capture of Saddam Hussein and we can all agree that it is a more dangerous place with the release of Hezbollah and Palestinian terrorists now free to once again create terror and havoc against Israel and possibly even the United States and our allies elsewhere!
