    I think the German government should have warned beforehand that it may not rescue the group, or that it may have them pay a fee. If such warning has been done, I think the German gov is right. If not, I think it is wrong.

      Hueij: I like your old avatar better (the one of the girl with her legs in the air). Your current pin up girl looks like she's trying to take a dump or something.

        Even if the government gave them warnings, I say Germans should pick them up anyway

        So we can all tell the Islamic terrorist cowards to **** off

          That's just the thing. If the German gov't is paying off these nutfvcks, then I guess the gov't should ask for reimbursement. But if the gov't is doing what it should and sending in the toughs to do a tough job, then it comes under defense, rather, and is non-reimbursable. Germans need to express their preference on what type of response they want their government to give to the nutfvcks of the world.
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                The fine should be higher and then they might start to get people to pay attention to the warnings the government puts out and not put other people's lives needlessly at risk when they have to rescue them.

                    So tourists through certain American neighbourhoods should also be billed for police and medical services when they get capped?

                    The fact is that out of 100 million people, someone is gonna do something dumb. We pay taxes so that the government takes care of certain things. Look at it like insurance. Being kidnapped by terrorists would be covered by that, I think.

                      Does this mean I can't sue the electronics company for the death of my cat as I tried to dry it's rainsoaked fur in the microwave owen? Will I have to do all the thinking myself now?

                        Striker:
                        I don't know how it is in the US, but in Europe, one of the most important missions of the State is to protect the physical integrity of its people. It is NOT to kill some terrorists abroad (are we only sure they are terrorists and not freedom fighters btw?).

                        Just a little nitpickabout you saying "rescuing them is secondary".

                          it sucks when you're in a position of responsibility when you have to deal with cases of operator error.

                          you want to kill 'em dumb fcuks, but you can't.

                            Kidnapping civilians and threatening to kill them is a big clue.

                            We already charge them for medical services.
                            Look at it like insurance. Being kidnapped by terrorists would be covered by that, I think.
                            Think of the money the German government is asking for as a deductible then.

                              Most illegal combatant groups do that. My question would be more precisely: does this group wantonly attack Civilians in the aim of creating a climate of fear, to push their political agenda ? In the current situation, the aim seems to have been money, which is completely different from terrorism.

                                You seem to have a wierd desire to defend something that at best can be decribed as a criminal act.
