On the other hand how much would it screw the terrorists heads and virtually eliminate the leverage of the hostage taking if the next time they take hostages, the Russians just blow all of them up saying 'screw the hostages we will kill you at every opportunity even if it means killing innocent people. Crazy but it might work.

Nah, that wouldn't work. These terrorists are fully prepared to die for their cause. [/b][/quote]
I'm not sure if I agree with you on this, I'm not sure if I disagree with you.
I think the average terrorist leader see's his people as pawns and is willing to throw them away.
However I don't see them being willing to throw away assets on a lost cause.
If the Russians blew up the school killing everyone in it, is there any profit to the terrorists to try and pull something like this off again if the Russians are going to just blow up that school?
If the terrorists can't get thier point accross because the other side is not willing to bend, then they might not be so willing to toss thier people away
just a thought
