Defence: fact, folly and fiction : Comments

By Bruce Haigh, published 24/5/2012

Our defence, should be just that – OUR defence, relying as much on diplomacy, trade and cultural exchange as weapons of war.

Individual and Planta, that you both support the warmongers is not unusual. Our society is brought up thinking that war is a normal part of human civilization even though it shows clearly we are low IQ barbarians.

The American Empire is a blot upon our world, a rogue nation. It has killed millions since WW3!

David

And above I also said:

"Naturally diplomacy is the first form of defence and in that respect the US is the most persuasive country politicly."

and

"Orwell had it right in 1984 about constant war and fear driving great powers."

Life is more complicated than blaming America for everything.

David G,
We support those who fight those who support the war mongers, get your lines right.
How do think your life would be like if it weren't for those you condemn ? Prove me wrong & go to Afghanistan when the troops leave & stay on without the protection of the US & other forces.
I suppose you could always try & lecture the locals in political correctness.

The number of Australians who have no idea or awareness of American Imperialism is staggering. In fact, most Australians don't even know what 'imperialism' means.

Too many Australians are still caught in a 1945 mindset and think Americans are saviours. They refuse to see the endless wars that the U.S. engages in and ask themselves: why is the U.S. doing this?

It is doing it to try to gain military control of the world for its own ends.

David g,
You make it sound like as if it were some silly competition as to who has the power. It's a deadly serious game to keep evil under control. If you think the methods are silly then just remember (if you capable of understanding that is) that the ONLY way to fight stupidity is by fighting fire with fire. Or are you a religious middle eastern religious fundamentalist who wants to live under that yoke. Well, I don't so I rather support America than Iran in keeping the world under whatever possible control. Most people need to be controlled like it or not. Just look at yourself.
