Would you negotiate with terrorists?

The likelihood of getting them back is small, at somepoint we have to take a stand for the greater good of the community, if all acts are selfishness then society will fall apart. This has nothing to do with religious morality, I'm trying to say we need to consider the consequences of our actions for the sake of all people. When we give in to evil we just feed it and it will grow and the cycle becomes worse because it has grown.
I could state several things about Christian morality here but, that's not what the discussions about. Christian morality would only apply to Christians in this situation and the question was posed to everyone, for once I'm trying to keep this from becoming an argument between atheist and Christian beliefs.

It's because they believe I'm taking a Christian stance, when in reality my stance is a rational one for the good and betterment of our society. One that would hopefully deter this horrible situation from occurring to others. Thanks for the support.

PS I've got to go the screen is bothering my eyes I'll be back later to address other posts.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
