Right now, I just hope the hostages get out unharmed. I don't care about the politics.
Best end would be hostages run, hostage-taker gets kneecapped by a sniper. Not killed, but it'd hurt like hell. And then prison for life.
And the hostages might have learned a lesson about why being armed is good.
It's always been my opinion that if someone takes hostages, if the hostages get freed and the hostage-taker is still alive, the former hostages should each be given a steel-toed boot and allowed to deliver one kick in the jewels to the hostage-taker for their violation of rights. Seems fair.
