ISIS wants to attack Australia, page-10

Every time I hear of threats and actions against Australians I'm reminded of just how badly John Howard and Tony Abbott abused their executive powers as PM. IMO their decisions to commit Australians to fighting in the Middle East were those of warmongers.

IMO, following the illegal invasion of Iraq by the Coalition of the Willing on the back of inaccurate and absent information about WMDs and Tony Abbott's decision to re-commit Australians to aerial bombing in the Middle East; we can thank them for the nightmare that is the Middle East and for the apparent hatred now being directed at Australians by the likes of ISIS.

As if to add insult to injury, Abbott even knee-capped the Overseas Aid Budget that was so important to winning the hearts and minds of those at risk in places like the Middle East.
