As I posted yesterday, the collective sins of the past from the brits,the froggies and the yanks ,are catching up.

It aint rocket science.

bandaid solutions treating the symptoms and not the disease are of little use, long term.

Frankly bolt is pathetic,instead of defending abbott,the now discarded puppett, he should be using his " intellect ",to look at the real reasons for the mass migration.

The failed foreign policies of pongolia, the froggies and the yanks.

'Failures of US Foreign Policy'

http://www.lossless-audio.com/usa/index19.php

Viewed totally and over many years, U.S. foreign policy has not exhibited diplomacy. The policies almost always degenerated into military ventures that did not resolve the policy issues. It seems incredible, but it can be shown that since the end of World War II, U.S. indirect, and often direct, intervention in all areas of the world, resulted in the deaths of more than two million persons, wounded and maimed many more, caused dislocations and uprooting of masses of persons, and destroyed infrastructures and economies. The American people have sent their children to die in several fruitless interventions that have served no beneficial purposes.

The Cold War served as an excuse for many illegitimate policies. Most of these interventions did not resolve Cold War issues and usually resulted in attacks on powerless countries. Similar provocations occurred after the end of the Cold War. It's unfortunate that the American people have been unable to fulfill their responsibility and prevent the disasters their governments have caused. U.S. foreign policies have had a habit of going full circle--the adversary conditions they intended to change have often come back again. The trajectories of the explosive weapons used to quell the adversary may someday follow a similar pattern--returning to explode at the original place of manufacture.

Instead of trotting out bolt,smith and dickering dissertations of nothingness,try reading a little further afield.

Raiderup, until Japan unleashed its attack on Pearl Harbor the USA was much more reluctant to engage in conflicts such as the invasion of Iraq that further destabilised the entire Middle East. I feel very sorry for those Americans whose kids are made to carry the militaristic can for their pollies; from Vietnam to Syria!

Even worse is the manner in which service people struggle upon returning home from active service only to find the support they really need is not there for them. Sadly, some can't even bring themselves to return home and even choose to live instead in other countries including Australia.

That the likes of Andrew Bolt are back-slapping Tony Abbott's ill-conceived and widely condemned London speech is a poignant reminder as to how much relevance they lost when Abbott was sacked by the Liberal Party.
