#7 I'm beginning to get the idea that the only way to live in peace with muzlems is to turn large areas of their landscape into glowing glass craters. Their idea of "civilization" certainly doesn't match mine, and I'm not a big fan of "civilization".

#8 When is the Philippine Navy going to sail to the rescue? They made it perfectly clear they didn't need or want our help when they booted us out of Subic, so I don't see any need for us to be offering them any assistance now. The help we've been giving them against Abu Sayyif is more than we should have been doing, and considerably more than they deserve.

#9 You should help anyway, if only because it's self interest to kill pirates anywhere you find them.

#11 I am reminded of the bravery and courage of Winston Churchill, who at the darkest hour of 1941 said "Screw it, they're all wogs, who cares what they do to each other" and came to a separate peace with the Germans.
