Iraq is dangerous for all people who believe in freedom from fear and oppression, Filipinos no exception. GMA's administration think it is lack of transportation back to the Filipines their kababayan are in Iraq? They are in Iraq because of the GMA Administration's nation wrecking incompetence.

Okay, they get back home to the Filipines then what? Start combing the streets for bottles and cans to recycle? Sell smokes to motorists?
