May 12 PJS1973 v No, never Negotiating only shifts power to them, sets a precedent and encourages more. Aggressively pursue and kill or prosecute them (I prefer the first choice) and they will be pacified. Post
u May 10 sapodolly v No, never Negotiating is not on the table for a terrorists and never will be. They certainly don't respect us or anyone else. We do need to go back to water boarding when we have a terrorists in our possession. Post

May 5 JTHEM v Only in exceptional cases We need to do what has to be done depending on the situation. I really like the idea of assassination teams on the sly. Post

Apr 18 TBToyia v No, never Oh my .. the questions here just keep getting more and more Absurd. What else would any Sane person say? Oh yes.. Terrorist are people too!! They have feeling just like us, and and and and... well you get the picture.. I guess I really shouldnt expect common sense these days hehehehehe Post
Apr 18 MarkColwell v Yes, in many cases We should always seek to communicate with out enemies. The word terrorist get's thrown around a lot... but haven't our enemies always been terrorists and haven't we also always terrorized our enemies? Post

Apr '13 Smoovious v No, never Well, not 'never'... "Release your hostages, drop your weapons, come out, and surrender, NOW... or you will be killed."... we can negotiate in which order they surrender, or be killed. Seriously, you can't ever open the door to negotiation with them. You can't even pretend to negotiate to buy time. They plan their timelines on how long they can stall to complete their plans. Never negotiate. Let us be known around the world that we have no patience for terrorists. B1 Post
u Apr '13 treedcat25 v No, never Formal negotiation would legitimize their efforts to attack the United States. If we made any concessions, they'd be more emboldened than ever before. Post

u Mar '13 Cheenoguy v Only in exceptional cases You have to look at every situation based on its circumstances. If American lives are at risk you consider every option. e17 endorsed Post
u Mar '13 seedtick v No, never Once you negotiate the tactical advantage belongs to the terrorist. A terrorist differs greatly from a "hostage taker." The terrorist is doing his deed because of idealogy and he just doesn't care about people, including himself usually. B1 e9 endorsed Post
Mar '13 Woody20164 v Only in exceptional cases Obviously another vague question by Politix. You need to more clearly define "terrorists" and "negotiate". Accordingly, each situation would need to be looked at individually. But what is most important to not losing negotiations, is that Americans need to have the stomach to sacrifice a life for the higher good. Us, "Give up or we'll kill you." Them, "Close Israel, or we'll blow up this cafe". Us, "Go ahead". Boom, crack, case closed. e6 endorsed Post
