The Phillipines cowtowed to terrorists and they released the hostage. Now they warn Japan:
 
DUBAI : A group headed by suspected top Al-Qaeda leader Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi demanded Japan withdraw its troops from Iraq or face attack, in a statement posted on an Islamist website."Do it as the Philippines did," said the statement addressed to the Japanese government and signed the "Khalid ibn Al-Walid Brigade, military wing of Tawhid wa al-Jihad (Unification and Holy War)".

The Philippines this week withdrew its 51-strong contingent from Iraq to save the life of a Filipino hostage, who was released Tuesday.
 
Let's hope the Japanese are stronger than the P.I.
