Ddzx is one of the few people on this list
who sees the murder of a British soldier
(by a lunatic) in its proper perspective.
Australia has been mindlessly tail-gaiting the British
and American empires into wars (that have little to do
with defending Australia) ever since Britain's wars on
'Boxers' who rebelled against British occupation of
China, Britain's war on Sudanese rebels against
British occupation of the Sudan, and Britain's
war to cleanse Boer (Dutch) farmers from
South Africa to ensure that Great Britain
enslaved the Blacks and not Holland.
The AIF means Australian Imperial Forces and that
means our troops did what Britain told them to do.
In Britain's war to cleanse Boer (ie Dutch) farmers
from South Africa, under Lord Kitchener's orders
Aussie soldiers built and operated the world's
first Nazi-Style Concentration Camp for the
Boer women and children that had been
ethnically cleansed from farming land.
In the Imperial Wars section of the Australian
War Memorial is a letter from an Australian
officer to his wife in which he calls what
his British superiors told him to do to
captured Boer women and children
"a beastly business" because some
27,000 women and children died
(from disease and malnutrition)
in Aussie concentration camps.
In recent times, we've followed the American
Empire into equally beastly wars on Vietnam,
the Iraqis and the Afghans. And we support
Israel's war to cleanse Palestinians and herd
them into the world's biggest concentration
camp: the dusty and deprived Gaza Strip.
We can't stop ourselves from behaving badly
towards captured men, women and children.
We kidnap them on the high seas and like Bristol
or Memphis slave-traders, we rob them of their
human rights and punish them with the most
feared agony in the British Colonial era:
an Indefinite Prison Sentence.
And for what perverted purpose?
So racism can win an election.
Hence I'll be voting Green.
They won't cage children
in concentration camps.
Rudd and Abboott will.
