Giving In to the Terrorists

It appears that despite the constantly escalating demands, the Phillipino government has given in and will begin pulling out their troops from Iraq early, to spare the live of a hostage truck driver. Amazing. The kidnappers break their word, and still the Phillipine government gives in and gives them everything they want. You'd think they would know the price of giving into terrorist demands, as the U.S. has been helping them fight their own home-grown Islamic terrorists, Abu Sayyaf. Oh, well. We have stood alone before, and if we have to we will stand alone again.
