Neutrality is no protection

Some nations are learning this message the hard way:

When it comes to kidnapping, the nationalities which had least to do with the Iraq war seem to be most at risk in the still-troubled country.

While only one American is known to be a hostage and the one known British captive has been released, Asians from nations which stood on the sidelines of combat make up most of the more than a score of foreigners reported abducted in recent days.

My hopes are with these people, but I also hope their respective governments realize that a stable, democratic Iraq is in everyone's best interests. They can't stay on the sidelines forever.
