This is not a good idea, particulary for a country where hostage-taking for ransom is common.

Our list of allies grows thin :rotz:

" Foreign Secretary Delia Albert said 10 soldiers had already left their Iraq base for neighbouring Kuwait"

I also think that we are there for the wrong reasons, and wish that they would bring our boys/girls home!

I agree, but to pull out under threat is a sign of weakness and a bad idea.

I kind of agree with all the posts here, which is why I haven't said anything.

(What a loss for everybody, right?)

The Filipinos were going to pull out anyway. They might as well do it now, so they can save one of their people. Isn't the occupation over anyway? The IRAQI army is getting stronger by the day, I would suspect the countries with fewer troops there to begin pullouts as they have been...just not all simultaneously.
