Allies against terrorism must not aim their guns towards any of their partners who suffered temporary setbacks. Like a boxing match, strategies in fighting against terrorism or any other combat against the enemies include backing away when needed and hitting harder in every opportunity. True allies must give moral boost to their friends who encountered temporary stumbling block instead of demoralizing them thus giving them time to plan their next move and the chance to enhance their capacity to resume the fight once the impediment is out of the way.

Jay Leno’s comment about the Philippine peacekeeping contingent establishing a world record in their speedy withdrawal from Iraq is a portrayal of a misinformed clown who happens to know nothing about Filipinos. Making fun of 96 Filipinos (55 soldiers, 26 policemen and 15 doctors) who risk their life trying to make a difference through peacemaking and peacekeeping is a strong indication that he has more brain in the chin than in the right place.

The Filipino peacekeepers were ordered to withdraw and fly back home one month ahead of schedule but they left a lasting impression on the Iraqi people for successfully accomplishing 67 major and 24 minor projects that include construction of footbridges and public health centers, training of more than two thousands Iraqis in law enforcement and distribution of relief goods.

For their 11-month heroic services as compassionate volunteers helping rebuild the war-torn country and ease the pain of a suffering people caused by the war, the Philippine humanitarian contingent withdrawn from Iraq deserve commendation instead of being made a laughing stock by clowns like Jay Leno who thinks being beheaded is just a joke and funny. Just for laughs, the kidnappers must put jokers like Jay Leno in the shoes of Angelo de la Cruz. As a hostage threatened to be beheaded, Jay Leno’s chin will surely run faster than his brain while simultaneously shitting and peeing on his pants, a world record too hard to break that will certainly make the people around the world continuously laughing to tears long enough to make it to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Jay Leno belittled what 96 Filipino peacekeepers (55 soldiers, 26 policemen and 15 doctors) can do by saying that P. Diddy has a bigger posse than that. I suggest that Jay Leno, P.Diddy and his posse will replace the Philippine contingent to Iraq so people will know if they can do better in helping the Iraqis or what new world record they can set for the 100-meter dash.

Jay Leno does not realize that there is something a Filipino can singlehandedly do in a matter of minutes that can make an impact in his television show far greater than the whole group of P. Diddy can make by merely asking through the internet millions of people around the world to boycott his show or change channel to other show host like Conan O’Brien or David Letterman. It will be easy to convince people to do it; he is boring anyway compared to other late night show host.
