Yeah, but if you did, I'm sure you'd make it clearly...eventually.

Agreed.  I'd add that it would be even better if there weren't so many
hostages to start with.

Whether perpetrators survive or not is something I'm ambivalent about,
with a slight preference for "not"...unless they go your route and
self-correct maybe.

    'Twas the morning of Christmas,
    And all through his house...
    Not a creature was stirring,
    Except Santa's mouse.

    For there, at his screen,
    The old fat man designed
    The ultimate gift
    For a tattered mankind.

    He squirmed and he puzzled,
    As all through the night,
    He polished the concept
    To get it just right.

    The formula worked!!
    The old guy was wired!!
    At last, Peace on Earth...
