All South Korean hostages were freed, but at what price?

Appeasement and dhimmitude are two of them, I fear. Here is the latest on the case:

Under the terms of a deal reached Tuesday, South Korea reaffirmed a pledge it made before the hostage crisis began to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan by the end of this year. Seoul also said it would prevent South Korean Christian missionaries from working in the staunchly Muslim country, something it had already promised to do.

As Michelle Malkin says:

The South Korean government’s direct deal-cutting with the Taliban ensures that we will see more infidels kidnapped

It seems that instead of going in there and mowing down those scum, they're appeasing instead.

Others on the subject include Eugene Cho, Wizbang.
