I have not criticized the SF or even hinted that the SF have failed in the philippines. You are coming out with your own conclusions on what I have said and twisting it, which is not very fair.
You may have been in the Philippines in 92 but you have your opinion and I have mine. I live in the area and visit frequently and yes, I do communicate with the locals and am quite familiar with what has been going on and what continues to go on in Southern Philiipines and Sabah in Malaysia because this is the territory I live in and have been living in since 1972! I was friggin born here for godsakes.
Ramos: You may think highly of the man but yes, granted he did do some re-construction work during his time in the military and president, but the facts are that during his tenure as president, fighting escalated and we saw a resurgent Abu Syaff that was far more active than ever before, even in the mid 70's and early 80's. Blame it on his commmanders. Blame it on the Philippine army. Whatever it is, both sides failed to see eye to eye and we saw an escalation of fighting.
I dont think I need to apologize for this. I have said nothing wrong and my opinions are based on my own experinces.

So now you know idema? Amazing!
Twisting? You have me at a loss.
Escalation of fighting is usually for a reason, in this case you still do not know why.
You need not apologize, I was not aware I asked for an apology?
If you have followed some of the other threads you would realize few muslims and anyone else get along, anywhere.
