"The seven remaining South Korean hostages taken captive last July by the
Taliban have been released, and insurgents have vowed they will abduct more
foreigners. 'We will do the same thing with the other allies in Afghanistan,
because we found this way to be successful,' Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef
Ahmadi told The Associated Press by phone on Thursday."
Besides the clear suffering of the victims, this is going to hurt the people of Afghanistan. Afghanistan is a country that needs the help of the international community very much right now. Actions like this are going to make it harder to get organizations and people to come that are willing to help. They are not going to chase the American army out by chasing out aid workers. They are attacking people who come to help them, there is no honor in that.
