What were they supposed to do? Stay and watch him die? Unlike America, which is sorrowfully resigned to see a civilian decapitated for fear that pulling out would appear 'weak', and not least as a result of a guilty conscience, and of course the issue of control, at least the Phillipine's are showing some support (loyalty?) for their countrymen. As a (small-ish) humanitarian unit, I understand that their retreat may send out a message that Iraq is unsafe for human aid contractors - but hang on a minute, it is unsafe! Along with the Spanish and Honduran contingent - and possibly soon the Bulgarians - they recognise the futility of attempting operation while insurgents are still trying to isolate the government and bloodshed is still rife. I do understand the danger of everyone abandoning ship, and that America may view it as yet again, Americans are the only ones spending and risking lives for redevelopment, but just remember who got us into this mess. I think GWB should be on the front line, fixing bandages and comforting sons and daughters who have lost their parents in yet another suicide bomb as a result of Western intervention.
