Diligent says: "I don't see any problem with tackling terrorists on their home ground, be that in Afghanisatn or Pakistan. Why wait until they arrive on our shores, by then it's too late. It's a breeding gound for global terrorists so that's where you will find them."

Until John Howard became Bush's "Deputy World Sheriff" and sent
Ausssie troops into a hotbed of religious, warlord, drug-running
and political uprisings, suppressions and insurgency in-fighting
in stange foreign lands that most Aussies can't find on a map, don't undertand their history or culture, and don't give a rat's backside
about (any more than they know where Australia is or give a rat's
backside about us) the idea that terrorists from those
lands (unless we got into bed with Bush) would
come sailing up Sydney Harbour (dressed
in expensive nautical attire) hell-bent on
blowing up the Opera House as a
symbol of Western decadence
is ludicrous in the extreme.

If any terrorists (from strange foreign lands)
are plotting to blow up the Opera
House, it will be the result of
Bush, Blair and Howard
bombing and invading
their homelands and
terrorising their
families at the
point of a gun.

Places like Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan
where Sunni and Shia militias, mad mullahs,
lunatic jihadists and tribal warlords are
all trying to 'Rule the Roost' are (in social
develpoment terms) where squabbling
European nations were 400 years
ago when Catholic and Protestant
clergy were burning heretics
while minor princes and
barons were butchering
each other's armies in
a quest for religious
and political power.

The idea that 'enlightened' Western
nations can bomb, butcher and
maim socially backward lands
into a deep and abiding
faith in democracy in 40
(let alone 4) years when
our culture took 400
years to arrive at
where we are at
is insanity on
steroids...

PARTICULARLY when our motivation
is not to benefit them, but to use
them to benefit our own safety
and prosperity while they
wallow in war-torn pain,
misery and deprivation!
