No More Concessions

Whether in regard to Boko Haram or the Islamic Republic of Iran, the rest of the world can not permit blackmail. If Boko Haram forces an exchange of jihadist murderers for kidnapped schoolgirls, then who is to say that very soon, Boko Haram might not abduct more innocent children? If Iran is allowed to pursue nuclear enrichment, who is to say they would not blackmail the Gulf States and/or Saudi Arabia with the threat of atomic destruction? Western leaders will have lost all credibility because they have placed "red line" after "red line" in front of Tehran's mad mullahs, and the mullahs have crossed them all with no real consequence. Extortion becomes the norm when it succeeds over and over again. Why would Boko Haram (like the Somali pirates) not blackmail when it is so profitable for them? Why would Iran not build a nuclear weapon when all the world does is blabber against it?
