How to guarantee more terrorism

The Philippines hasjoined the ranks of craven countries, following the release of it's citizen in Iraq. It has withdrawn it's small contingent of troops from there to meet the kidnappers demands. Needless to say, this will encourage these and other kidnappers in Iraq to strike again. But I guess the Philippines government is comfortable having the blood of people other than it's own citizens on it's hands. They can also look forward to their domestic terrorists taking heart at the government's gutless and short-sighted move. Aside from the inevitable disgust one must feel, is the thought that some of our "allies" in Iraq were probably not worth bringing - the value of them was to provide a fig-leaf for an invasion that did not have serious international support. Meanwhile, back in Iraq, ransoms are being demanded for other kidnappings to help fund Iraqi-based insurgent groups, who will continue to destabilize the area. The purpose, obviously is to make the current Iraq seem so bad that the general populace will wish for a group of strongmen to take over - and we all know how well that turned out for Iraq last time.
