Sow the wind......

Just thinking about the hostages from various countries who've been killed by insurgants in Iraq. I don't have time to look for links--I should be getting ready for Worldcon--but it's been a fair number of hostages from a variety of countries, and another bunch who've been captured and released when their countries or companies knuckled under.

I just wonder what sort of payback might be coming along.

What kind of payback are you thinking of?

If I had something specific in mind, I'd have said it.

It's just that I find it hard to believe that you can behave so badly to so many people you don't control and get away with it.

I am not sure I correctly understand the antecedents to the pronouns, so here's as clear as I can make it:

Are you thinking of payback from the various countries whose citizens have been kidnapped and some then killed, such payback aimed at Islamic extremists and/or Iraq as a whole; or payback from Islamic extremists aimed at the US?

The former, and thanks for trying to straighten things out.

I like to be correct. It's fannish, right?
