The problem is, if they save one life now by meeting the demands, it's bound to cost twice the ammount later on. It's a simple matter of scarificing one life to resque a lot of others. Family and the victim probably won't agree with that, but it's the cold and painfull truth.
This hasn't anything to do with pride. The USA can shove it's pride into a place where the sun dun shine. This is about human lives which (even though I realy don't give a very great deal about them, depending from person to person) are at risk if they start meeting demands of kidnappers and terrorists.
