I don't give a stuff what their history is hundreds of years ago -
they didn't fly down to Australia and drop bombs on us did they?????????
Indeed - if we hadn't have stuck our noses in there with our great friend America - bombing people out of houses, killing civilians -
it's HIGHLY likely that if you mentioned 'Australia' to someone in Afghanistan, Iraq or Iran -
they would have wondered if you were talking about Austria
even if they had ever heard of that one
the ONLY reason why we have soldiers suiciding is because we have been - somewhere else, poking our nose into someone else's business that has absolutely zip to do with us
it's really no more complex than that

"... WE SHOULDN'T BE THERE"
Well did the shooting of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand require our troops to head off to Europe in Oct 1914?
Did Hitler invading Poland require our troops to head of to Europe in 1940?
Did North Vietnam's invasion of the south require our troops to head off to Asia in 1965?
When you are in a military alliance partnership, you are expected to support your partners.
