#3 Show us what you mean through deed and we will reconsider, after a long period of meditation on our part. All kidding aside, President Arroyo will need to learn the lesson that when you shaft your friends, they cease being your friends. The trust is gone. And THAT is a serious loss. Meditate on that, Gloria.

Well said, AP. Tibor, your own suggestion has much merit, but Philippine ~~idiocy~~ sovereignty laws will most likely cripple such a great idea.

#11 Cut off emigration from the Philippines. The place is filled with Jihadi terrorists you know. Pull out US military trainers and cut off military aid. If the Filipinos want weapons, let them pay full price.

If they do not have the will and power to hold onto the southern Islands, then let a Muslim state declare independence. If one day the southern islands are used to launch an attack on Americans, then let us invade and annex them.

#12 Taken away from Spain after the S/A war - saved 'em once. The Spanish were draining the place as per usual.

Kicked out the Japanese - saved 'em twice.

Put up with "anti-communist" Marcos' shit for too damn long because "he was our bastard", then dumped his thieving ass at the first opportunity. Waited too long, withou a doubt.

For thanks, we got some of our primary strategic military bases in the far east closed. Then they abandon post over a single truck driver. And now they want to be buddies again. China and Vietnam scarin' ya, guys? They should, they'd scare anybody sane.

Hope it all works out. Write when you find work...
