> Historical analogues? 'Don't negotiate with terrorists' or: > It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation, > For fear they should succumb and go astray; > So when you are requested to pay up or be molested, > You will find it better policy to say:— > "We never pay any-one Dane-geld, > No matter how trifling the cost; > For the end of that game is oppression and shame, > And the nation that plays it is lost!"'
