Free the Korean Hostages
Monday, August 06, 2007, it's 10:12 AM.
My friend sent me an email about Taliban and the Korean Hostages. From the start, i am already very concerned about this news and always watch the TV News for latest updates. I read up and decide to blog about it below.
Firstly, I will introduce briefly what is it all about. The Taliban people are all from the ethnic group called "Pashtun". This ethnic group is just like other ethnic groups with a code to observe,
Pashtunwali.I have research it on the wikipedia and found out more about the code:
Pashtunwali promotes core tenets including self-respect, independence, justice, hospitality, love, forgiveness, revenge and tolerance toward all (especially to strangers or guests).
A global outcry for the Taliban to follow their own code would certainly be covered by media in Afghanistan and Pakistan where the Taliban are based – creating massive local pressure on them to free their prisoners. But these hostages are living under a 24 hour death sentence. We have seconds not minutes to act.

It may not be helpful, i dunno but i will try my very best with any method if there might be a chance that it may happen.
God bless the Held hostages, and may God enlighten the Kidnappers to give up and make sense.
World PEace !
