Die painfully but relatively quickly, or resist and be tortured for days. or be advised their loved ones would be hunted and killed. <br /> The response to your question indicates that perhaps we have not yet realized how brutal things can be- we need to go back a ways in time to understand-skinning alive, removal of body parts, impaling, burning at the stake, there are a host of torments that could and would be applied without the slightest hesitation-indeed, they would delight in it. Those men were in an untenable situation , and did the best they could-with the alternative of being in prolonged gibbering insane agony.

He had been an NCO in the Entebee Rescue. He said that EVERY Israeli KNOWS that they have a less than 50-50 chance of getting out of this situation alive. When the commandos told their citizens to hit the floor, two inadvertently stood up and were victims of friendly fire. However, when a terrorist tried to surrender, he too was shot. Why? Because he would have been just another potential reason for other terrorists to capture people for his rescue. Problem solved. Then he closed with statement: "You Amercicans will never win the war on terrorism because you are afraid of accepting friendly casualties. We Israelis live with the fact that we are all potential targets and must do whatever we can to resist or help resist. Maybe our death will save someone else." He got a polite appaulse. That was 33 years ago - I think he has been right ever since. The resistance on flight 93 was heroic and an example to us all - Do not go quietly into the night.MADDOG61noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114877411975379535.post-64733523850298600632014-09-04T20:36:46.453-05:002014-09-04T20:36:46.453-05:00SkyBill...

That is why a handshake is always done with the right hand. If you're left-handed, you must inform the other person, and the handshake will be done left-handed to right-handed. In other words, the left hand is considered unclean and that's why it's used in the beheading...to add insult to injury so to speak.<br /><br />Gary W.

They really did not believe it was happening to them. They had been trained that if they cooperate, everything would work out.

In the day - if anyone harmed one of our Citizens cosequences would have been immediate and far reaching. Now: we're going to "disrupt" them (?) and make dealing with this "managable". WTF, over. More over "winning their hearts and minds", we're now making our foriegn policy about "managing the situation". No wonder Putin laughs in our face. Blue, when will they issue this administration SPINES and B--ls? The policy should be: They maybe screw ups, but they're our scew ups and nobody toouches them but us!
