was that such a good idea?

so, i heard that the korean hostages in afghanistan were released

good

they were released by a $20 million ransom from the korean government to the taliban

not good

why?

it's just increasing the violence! first, the taliban says that they'll use the money to buy more weapons, and then they also threatens to bomb the korean embassy if those missionaries don't leave the country!

i wonder how the missionaries feel about this...

honestly, i wouldn't want to leave the mission field on those terms...
