no perfect answer, life entails risk

I am reminded of the Russian that was kidnapped in Beirut;
a nephew (young boy) carried the balls of the kidnapper's brother to the kidnapper in a paper bag
- the Russian was immediately released
-> no Russian was ever kidnapped again

there IS a cost which will be deemed excessive, might be pretty ugly with fanatics
the Germans were not really successful at controlling freedom fighters despite lots of 'revenge'
