Two French Marine Commandos killed during rescue mission....

The butcher's bill for this op?  Two good men died, four hostages (including an American) rescued.

Does the cost benefit analysis indicate that this was a fair exchange for the lives of two men that were highly skilled versus four hostages that MORE THAN LIKELY put themselves into a position thru ignorance or negligence or both?

I'm not sure.  I think it needs to be discussed.  As a citizen you have rights.  But you also have responsibilities.  Going to stupid places to hang out with stupid people has consequences that others should not have to die for.

Regardless (and we will have that discussion another day), may the memories of these two men be a blessing.
