The Korean government itself is corrupt. Seeing one of their own being taken hostage, and making no effort to even save him, shows how much they value their citizens.

They wouldnt have had the time to try and save him, unless they complied, and no government would give into demands of terroists.

Non-negotiation is a proven deterrant. If South Korea decided to negotiate, then the militants will assume that if ever they want to negotiate, all they need to do is capture a hostage. Thus, hostage taking will increase.

I didn't mean that this was one of those 'extreme situations'.

They could at least untie the other bloke, give them a sword just as big and sharp, and then we'll see if these kidnapping cowards are really so tough.
