The Philippines got their truck driver back. Don't be afraid to answer that knock at the door, everyone knows that
the monkey's paw never fails to deliver...
"The Philippines, a country with millions of its nationals working overseas and with a domestic Islamic insurgency of its own, is a country with a lot to lose from acceding to terrorist blackmail," The Asian Wall Street Journal said in an editorial Thursday.
"That it finally did so yesterday, by agreeing to pull its troops out of Iraq in order to save the life of a Filipino hostage, may trouble the life of this nation for years to come."
...but don't be surprised by the bloody footprint you find.
