Filipino Hostage Freed in Iraq; Militants Warn Japan Zarqawi Demands Japan Withdraw from Iraq
I hope Japan does not cave in to insurgents' demands to withdraw from Iraq like the Philippines (even though they said they wouldn't):
Then they quickly pull out - what a joke! Leaders worldwide better learn:
Once countries start to give in to terrorists, it will only encourage them to kidnap more hostages in an attempt to change foreign policy. It's sad the Philippines government doesn't get it... we do!
UPDATE - Alleged Zarqawi Statement Disowns Japan Threat, but it doesn't change my views above.
