U.S.: Show me the money!

Terror thugs holding Kim Sun Il have dropped their demand that South Korea withdraws its army personnel currently in that country. Fox is reporting that the kidnappers most likely want money.

If the South Koreans give in to this demand -- given the strength of the peace movement in that country, they might -- this will set a bad precedent. Look for the the number of kidnappings to increase.

What this shift in demand points up is the financial desperation of the thugs. If the South Koreans pay, it will point out the weakness of that nation.
