You cant negotiate with terrorist why give them something that they want it will encourage more terrorists to kidnap people and threaten to kill them is that good in your mind falcon and even though the Philipinos only have 50 men in Iraq its the encouragement that does damage not their actual pulling out.

It shows that if you comply no more innocent lives will be lost...The media coverage alone encourages the terrorists. Maybe if the US complied we wouldn't be mourning such atrocities. It's sad when a foreign country has higher regard for its civilians abroad than the US.

Yup, dangerous precedents are being set. First by the Spainards, now this.
It is only gonna get worse.
Of course, then again, its not like there was a huge contigent of Spanish or Philipino troops in Iraq. Not really gonna make much of a dent.
There are more terrorists in the world because of our actions.
There is no West World or East World, there is ONE world.
We need to fix that world, not divide it further.

And how would you propose to creat one world, especially when there's an irresistible force versus and immovable object? There is a West and and east, and the philosophies differ so radically that it can only be one or the other. There can be no compromise. So who's "one world" will it be?
