Give in to terrorist's demand, or sacrifice citizens?

Hi vandana, there's another question inside this question. The people in authority who have the power to make this judgement call in furture instances would I believe be willing now to sacrifice the life of the little people (in their eyse) on the plane. However if one of their own was on the plane I would expect that negotiatios would begin very quickly. I think a double standard would be most defintely be implemented.

No, I would not give in to any terrorist demand..it is a sign of weaknesses to bow on their demands. Once, you give in to their demands..You think they will no repeat the same things hurting many people? My replies is a big, big..NO!! If it need to sacrifices life just to stop their cruelty to human kind. Then, I am approving, but if the terrorist insist and never seem to afraid of any negotiation or never like any compromises. I will still continues to fight with them to fear the government troops instead of approving their demand..This is the way to show to the citizens of any country that a strong government is the dominant authority and never ever bow to the demand of terrorist. Giving in to their demands only encourages their mad activities to continue and it is a means of tolerating..

This is a very difficult question to answer and takes a good leader to make things go well. Some times it will be better to give in to terrorist's demand than to let other die. But imagine 9/11 attacks, in my opinion it would be better to take down the planes than them hit their targets and kill much more people than it would kill if the target had been eliminated. This is why this is a difficult question to answer because it depends in which situation you are, and most of the time it will be difficult to understand in which situation you are when dealing with terrorists.
