re: john howard the warmonger..for debono..
A quote that Martina Navratolova made sometime ago explains what this is all about i.e. Decisions in America are based on how much money can be made & not the question of health, morals or the enviroment suffer. The most absurd thing is that defecting from Czechoslovakia in 1975 I only exchanged one system that suppress freedom of opion for another. Listening to the CNBC the other week an American politian addmitted that in the Gulf War in 1990 the American Govt. made 10 billion out of that war. now think of the back ground of Bush he's righthand man Cheney & then go to where Rumsfeld came from> The country is run by people who are from big business backgrounds are elected by big business for political favours. Read the article that Richard Neville wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald 12 April 2002. It explains alot of what this is all about Black Gold < Control over a Govt. that will sell oil at the right price. Bush talks about the Humanity side of the people of Iraq. Will some one tell him what is happening in Zimbabwe. Probably not because they have no oil. So in essence if we go in support of the American ideals of life (one which the elder Bush explined it would not be compromised) how would you feel if your Son or Daughter was killed over there? & plse tell me what can Hussien really do to endanger the region? Also what evidence is there that he has supported terrorism. I.E. independant from American sources, I'm sorry I cannot believe a thing that comes out of there mouth.Yes America is our ally, but if I remember correctly we went to the aid of the East Timorese because the Americans' wouldn't plus they decided we should do so because there is alot of OIL in the Timor sea Amazing. The American people are a pretty good bunch, it's the greed of the people who run it. The huge majority of the Nation do not have a clue what giong on ? There censorship over the is quite remarkable. My X a rather intelligent person never relised alot of things about America until she came over here to live. I"m totally against terrorism,but you have to get to the root of the evil not bully the World to think the American way, because when push comes to shove the Americans' have one thing in mind there way or no way. They talk of free trade & that's all. If we go with the U.N. then let the majority talk but would you put your life on the line.for George & he's gang the President who lost the election?
