Raymond, Re: tangled web. Back in the late 1960's a Muslim Filipino named Nur Muswari started a movement for an independent Muslim Mindanao. Pretty soon there were bombings and kidnappings and mayhem in the exact style that is popular in Iraq and Israel today. In 1968 a Muslim bomber set off a bomb in "Love Cinema", the walk-in movie theater in my wifes home town during the Saturday double feature, killing dozens. A few years later the same thing was done again. The most recent big bombing there was in January 2000 when a bomb exploded in a "Super Five" passenger bus while two of these busses were crossing Panguil Bay on the harbor ferry. Both busses caught fire and 87 people died. It turns out that the reason for the bombing was that the bus company was having a dispute with some Muslim group, whose territory the busses crossed while traveling their regular route. That didn't even make the news here in the US. There may well be some Zionist provocations going on there in recent years, I guess it is possible. But years ago, back in the 1960's when all this started there I just don't think there was any connection to the middleast, the US or Israel; it was all a local affair. Slagle
