Win or lose

First, Spain was intimidated by terrorists.

Now, the target is Japan:

'We will burn them alive'

An Iraqi group has kidnapped three Japanese hostages, including one woman, and promised to burn them alive if Japan does not withdraw its forces from Iraq.

Al Jazeera television screened a video today showing three Japanese dressed in civilian clothes. They are believed to be two journalists and an aid worker

The television said a statement by the hitherto unknown Iraqi group called Saraya al-Mujahideen had given Japan three days from the airing of the video to withdraw its troops from Iraq before it killed the hostages.

The statement said: "Three of your sons have fallen into our hands. We offer you two choices: either pull out your forces, or we will burn them alive. We give you three days starting the day this tape is broadcast."

It's hard to come up with better proof of the nature of what we're fighting than this despicable threat to burn Japanese civilians alive. Once again, remember Daniel Pearl (and watch the video). Remember 9-11.

To be terrorized is to lose.

That's how they win.
