Filipino Hostage - Was it a good decision?
 

if it saved his life i think the Philippine government did the right thing!

Finally a government recognizes the value of a human life.

Wonder what will be next now that they gave into the terrorists tactics......

amen.

im basically against the invasion of iraq but its a moot point now ... what pisses me off is it seems half-assed to me, and people are dying en masse thanks to G Dubya and his butt-buddy Blair.

If the american gov't is going to fuck around in the rest of the world, at least do it 100%.

:2 cents:

US intelligence sucks. Spend all the war money on intelligence instead. People are sitting ducks in Iraq - and the only govt standing behind its people is led by - go figure - a Chick, Gloria Arroyo.

You think Bush lost one hour of sleep over any of the kids he sent over there that are now decapitated?

its all about $$$ and if you dont believe it, wake up and smell the coffee.

Yeah...I absolutely agree...I'm so glad this hasn't turned to be a racist thread too...



yet

It is the most stupid thing to do!
They'll have a landslide of kidnappings now with people demanding all sorts of shit from them... :2 cents:

Can't say whether it was a good idea or not until he's actually released. They could always kill him at the last minute saying it took them too long. If they do release him and all of the Philippinos are out of the country will they have strikes on their own soil to drive the point home to not cooperate with America?
