                    [Summary] => Someone who has known Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo since her early years told me that the President now smiles more easily and often. In the local afterglow of the Angelo de la Cruz case, she is on her way to becoming the country’s "best" president, the person told me. 


Obviously this person is a supporter of the President. But for some time this was not the case, and I was surprised by the change of heart. Perhaps the President, now armed with a six-year mandate, is finally learning to turn on the charm and develop genuine empathy. Election victory can work wonders.

That’s exactly what US occupation troops are doing in Iraq, a sovereign country like the United States. They are forcing themselves on Iraqis who just want to be left alone much like Americans do.
