RP may send peacekeepers back to Iraq under UN charter

finally some good news. under this initiative, the philippines could come back to that war zone we call iraq without losing face.

filipino leaders know that they've made a mistake pulling out. iraqi leaders have continously pointed out that our knuckle-headed decision to pullout caused the surge in the violence. of course our spin doctors made it clear to the rest of the world that there has been rising violence down there prior to the pullout, but they never ever told anyone how the iraqis perceived the after effects, the sharp rise in the trend and the greater persistence of the militants after the pullout, and how they are directly suffering because of us.

our cowardince simply caused more problems for the people left in that land, while we're out here far away from the violence. but the violence will soon find its way here. pullout or not, muslim militants will strike us because they've discovered a weakling, an easy prey that could easily be manipulated and frightened into submission.
