Dear Erinys,
It's not my job to straighen out
Al Queda or the Taliban.
My job is to straighten me out
by trying to live in accord
with self-evident spirtual
laws common to all faiths.
What you do about your
misdeeds is up to you.
What John Howard does
about his misdeeds
is up to him.
What the Iraqis do about
the Sunni-Shia civil war
if up to the Iraqis.
Likewise what the Afghans
do about the Taliban is
up to the Afghans.
But bloodless rergime changes
are possible. In the Philippines
Cory Aquino and People Power
overthrew the grossly corrupt
right-wing Marcos regime.
In Poland, Solidarity overthrew
a totalitarian left-wing
dictatorship without
bloodshed.
Australia has gained 95 % of the
liberation America gained via
a blood-soaked revolution
against British rule by
patient negotiaton
over many years.
I'm rather proud of that.
I'm also proud that when
Western Australia refused
to join the Federation we
did not send an 'Army
of the Molonglo' across
the Nullaror to teach
the rebels to bow to
Cenrtalised Power
that caused a big
Civil War like the
US suffered.
Instead we sent an envoy
bearing a very big gift!
If WA joined the federation, the
Commonwealth (at its cost)
would build a railway
across the Nullabor
as a tangible experssion
of East-West unity.
A second WA referendum was
held (during which the WA
goverment supported a
Yes vote) and the rest
is history:
