Why?
Yeah I can just imagine Fidel Castro's Cuba or Lenin's Russia or Mao's China just dropping the charges against hostage takers and letting them go. The whole left vs right argument is monumentally stupid in this context in any case - you just go for whatever works irrespective of where it fits on any political spectrum, there are people's lives at stake here ffs - politicians do their job afterwards.
I'd agree there, generally extreme and "far" anything are really not something we want to be advocating. Unfortunately most people at the fringes probably don't realise how fringe they actually are.
