UPI's Editor-In-Chief Arnaud de Borchgrave (L) meets with Filipino President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in Manila Ocotber 15, 2003. Macapagal-Arroyo said Wednesday it was "critical" for U.S. President George W. Bush to understand "how closely related the war on terrorism is to the war on poverty." The Bush administration has repeatedly said there was no correlation because most terrorists came out of middle class and well-to-do families. (UPI/HO)
