Subject: The policy of no negotiation with terrorists

The policy of no negotiation with terrorists has been around for a long time, and not just in the US. Why all of a sudden are we seeing countries capitulating to terrorist demands? The intuative knowledge that it just encourages more and worse seems to not function anymore, what is going on?

The same policy that governed Europe in the 1930s vis a vis Italy and Germany: the idea that if you feed the tiger, he won't eat you. It didn't work then, it won't work now.

yeah, but its been understood since that time that you take a stick to the tiger(to use your analogy) when he misbehaves and feed him if he's good. So why?
