Ok,the latest is 40 hostages from 12 different countries,there will be NO negotiations whatsoever. I feel for them cus most are contract workers apart from 2 of them being US soldiers,and ppl call the allies animals!
I have Sky News on a lot and all i ever see is Breaking News from Iraq,one just came up as im writing this post saying a large explosion in the south of Baghdad.

I've heard the Russian hostages and a few others have been released now, and apparently some of the moslem clerics have been urging people to release the hostages, so hopefully some of the other hostages will be released soon. I've also heard that some groups in Iraq are now jumping on the bandwagon simply to further their own goals - quite possibly financial....
I have to admit I find it quite worrying the power that some of these clerics/priests have over people - and I'm not just talking about Islam here! Anyway, going off topic a bit, sorry!

What do u expect from people in a country occupied by foreign forces?.These iraqis were first persecuted under saddam for 30 years and now the americans are having there way over them!..How much more must must these ppl suffer?..These ppl r fighting a war and trying to rid themselves of occupiers who only have interest in there Oil..With no weapons and little to defend themselves with, they obviously get into desperate situatuions and kidnapping is a weapon which they unfortunately use!>Lets get some facts straight here:over 400 iraqis dies in the last 2 weeks in Faluja..and i think 30 allied troops died..But in the media there is never any preference given to the majority who died here.Seems like Iraiq blood is cheap.The americans are creating more long term problems for themselves if they are thinking they fighting a war on terror.

@ Arez - totally agree with you there!
@ Axxxr - I can certainly see where you're coming from - the Iraqis have had one hell of a lot to put up with - but these 'occupiers' (without wanting to condone this war - which I don't as it was for the wrong reasons) I guess need to carry their mistake through now - if they simply pack up and leave Iraq now they will cause more harm than good - leaving Iraq with almost no government whatsoever, no infrastructure to get it's country up and running again and it's people at risk of being taken advantage of or suppressed again by another Saddam or Taliban-type government. I just wish that despite Saddam being one nasty piece of work, the US (and us!) should have stayed out of Iraq until a concrete reason was found (like proper evidence of WMDs, Saddam invading another country, or gassing his own people again, etc.)

axxxr... i see where you're coming from.... but armed men kidnapping westerners will only bring about more armed soldiers and as always it's going to be the UNarmed population that will be the victim. Don't think for even a second the kidnappers themesleves are dead or injured. it's women and children that occupy 90% of the hospitals. The same women and children those ared kidnappers should be protecting... after all they're their mother's sisters and daughters aren't they?
What good do these kidnappers and 'guerilla-like' fighters do to their own people? Holding a gun is not getting anybody nearer to rebuilding Iraq now is it?

A lot of these gunmen also tend to hide in built up and civilian areas, unnessecarily putting the innocent in mortal danger - although the US attacking these areas is morally on stony ground - they do need to defend themselves from attack! This cleric that's stirring all this up has a lot to answer for - and there's no real way to deal with that situation or that person, as killing him would martyr him, doing nothing will mean he's free to carry on with his rhetoric, and simply imprisoning him won't solve the matter either.

@Arez: Did you see anyone around here who supports terrorists?
The sad fact is that USA & Israel are creating them with their behaviour and Europe is passive as always.
Being passive = kissing ass. Germany excused.
