C'mon Sydney, do it the American way

There were hostages in the chocolate shop when I went to bed. I wake up to find that some have escaped, but others are still being held. Details are limited, but CNN has various War Party spokespeople talking up fear everywhere.

Clearly what's needed now is American-style anti-hostage hostage tactics -- storm the place and everyone inside dies, then interview the "heroes" who safeguard every breath we take, then go live cover all the funerals.

We need a quick and telegenic showdown, urgently, before this story creeps unresolved into the evening news cycle.
