From no higher than the second round Jeff found his game, on the hard courts of the Philippines, and blew through his first title—dropping only two sets in five matches and winning the grand prize of forty-four thousand dollars (2 million pesos). Now, t he girls talked to them, undressed for them, licked lime and salt off each other’s tits for them, went home with them, kept them up all night for them. Jeff had just minted money he’d always imagined, and he was quick to spoil himself. They went to bars, barhopping from one to another, looking for the hottest girls they could and making them into an entourage. He was playing like he was a Don. “So much pussy and only one dick,” he said to Clay as the door girl, one who looked like she’d recently given birth but was still kind of pretty pulled a string connected to the doorknob of a big door. They walked into the front door, through a little passage, then the dark tube opened into...

He finally got back on the court with Mark--Daisy watched from the stands. She was beautiful. She hardly spoke English but she had big eyes, a pretty face, and great body. The only thing wrong with her looks were a series of scars from a motorbike accident. Mark was surprised when Jeff showed up with a girl. She was on his arm, reluctant to let him go onto the court. Now Jeff was looking up at her as they warmed up. He was hitting extra hard, apparently trying to impress her. His first serve was great, but his second lacked the wrist finesse that allows the ball to really kick up. Mark was able to crush his second serves. And was Mark doing it to show these new eyes his own prowess? Was he jealous of the girl? Of Jeff’s new role as the star? Jeff started to look a little frustrated and eventually Mark lightened up on him. Starting Wednesday there would be his next tournament. He was still ready, more or less, from his win. They could ride...

He turned into a muslim for her. Muslims rarely turned Catholic but sometimes Catholics converted to Islam. Then he began going to the Mosques. They instructed him in the ways of Islam, in the ways of Mindanao, in the ways of Abu Sayeff, the terrorist group funded by Al Qaeda. He added a second wife—an Indonesian smuggled in from Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia to Zamboanga in the Philippines. Although he had the second wife he still sent Daisy SMS messages asking her to send money and such. He knew she was working near Manila. He didn’t know what she was doing. If he knew, he would kill her—put a knife through her kidney.                    He was being trained at the mosque to make SEMTEC bombs, to use remote controlled fuses, to kill a man without so much as a knife. He attended a school. It was funded by foreign...

I think for all the benefits of the American way of life there seems to be a real problem dealing with economic difference -- see any inner city ghetto for the proof. Terrorists should not bear the brunt of the blame. There are many complicated factors that go into the creation of a terrorist. The way to really stop the problem is not with war that breeds more poverty, but to evaluate and corect the situation that caused poor children to become so enraged as to become terrorists.   Tue, 11 Sep 2001 09:40:03 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/FelltheDevil/Al-Qaeda-good-friend-or-foe/6/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/FelltheDevil/Al-Qaeda-good-friend-or-foe/6/ Click Here Now for online magazine Literary Chaos which accepts submissions of experimental fiction Fri, 02 Feb 2001 14:59:39 +0100 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/FelltheDevil/Literary-Chaos-Magazine-For-Experimental-Fiction/5/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/FelltheDevil/Literary-Chaos-Magazine-For-Experimental-Fiction/5/
