President Obama: Do you really love America?

[Brian37]

So.... remember that I'm looking at this from the outside... what did Obama do?
Apparently, he failed to negotiate with terrorists to ransom american citizens... That's sort of common policy, seeing as some 25% of ISIS income is in the form of ransoms from countries or families which are willing to pay... curiously, it seems, most of those are from "fellow" middle-eastern nations[1].

Why is it standard practice not to negotiate with terrorists? If you do, you'll give them an incentive to actively kidnap your citizens. And more terrorists will crop up everywhere someone senses they're close to someone they know will be ransomed.
