Democracy is another casualty of the Iraq War: Gerhard Schroeder’s address to the survivors of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

"United States President George W. Bush and his non-elected Administration have escalated the war in Iraq in spite of majority opposition in Congress and in the general population."

"Democracy is another casualty of this war."

How does one take any article seriously that leads with such horrible use of political misdirection and out right lies.

The United States presidential election of 2004 was held on Election Day, Tuesday, November 2, 2004. Republican candidate George Walker Bush, the incumbent President of the United States, was reelected over Democratic candidate John Kerry, the junior United States Senator from Massachusetts. Foreign policy was the dominant theme throughout the election campaign, particularly Bush's conduct of the War on Terrorism and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

As in the presidential election of 2000, voting controversies and concerns of irregularities emerged during and after the vote. The winner was not determined until the following day, when Kerry decided not to dispute Bush's narrow win in the state of Ohio. The state held enough electoral votes to determine the winner of the presidency.

Bush received about 51 percent of the votes cast, making him the first presidential candidate to win a majority of the popular vote since his father George H. W. Bush in the presidential election of 1988.

And democracy was not a casualty of the war. Social freedoms in many countries have taken a beating due to Islamic militant terrorism. Especially post 9/11. It wasn't just the planes being hijacked and weaponized while still loaded with innocent people. They were also purposefully crashed into sky-scrappers full of innocent people. Then there was the attacks on the military via the internet, cyber attacks. And more attempts made at airports, etc. etc.
Cyberspace has become a whole new theater of warfare. Internet safety and security exceeds personal computing and johnny and jannie visiting porn sites or spam mail.

Associating NAZI Germany and playing on the Jewish Holocaust to reference a passing P.S. to David Hicks isn't just immoral it's outrageous.

I'm honestly surprised the editors of OLO published this article as it is.

SaintFletcher; Are peddling or following that anti-fascist propaganda? Nazism has a version of fascism as did the Italian regime which were very different from each other. The ALP and Liberal parties are both liberalists yet not all Laborites are liberalists. Fascism does not equal Nazism but your blabbering does equal foolishness.

Fascism is about pride but it is also about industry, commerce, employment, health and more. Note that only fascism has ever shown strong growth and kept it until the jealousy of liberalism paid for its destruction. Hitler should have stuck with fascism and left the anti-jewish sentiments to the Polish where it was at its highest.

As for the writer and speaker, when will people jump off the pity the poor Jew syndrome? Look around and you will see that the government of today that employs Nazi tactics has Israel with a clear win at first place.

On 18 March 2003 I lodged again with the High Court of Australia a Section 75(v) of the Constitution for a mandamus/prohibition against the Commonwealth of Australia to invade the sovereign nation Iraq on constitutional grounds, such as that a Prime Minister has no constitutional powers and neither has prerogative powers to authorize an armed invasion into another “friendly” nation. However, the High Court of Australia, on 19 March 2003, the very day the armed invasion commenced, refused to deal with this application!
I take it as very serious that judges of the High Court of Australia refused to uphold the law in that regard.
It may not excuse John Howard and his cohorts but surely the judges should have to answer for their conduct also.
