The governments of Spain and the Philippines have done the right thing. We appreciate the withdrawal of their troops from Iraq. America, Britain and Australia are blaming them, saying it is giving in to the terrorists and it will further encourage them to kidnap foreigners.

But have the US and the UK forgotten that they have attacked Iraq without UN mandate and on a false pretext? People all over the world protested this action but they did not pay any heed to it, then why do they need any help from the other countries now?

These kidnappings would not have happened if Iraq was not invaded unjustly. Then who is to blame for the consequences?

I think it should be put like this "Terrorism by US-UK", not 'war on terror'.
