Iraq government's situation is very complicated : Comments

By David Harding, published 16/6/2014

Iraq and the region are a patchwork of factional fiefdoms, and finding a way of keeping them together is difficult once they have started to run.

TO JO'N

Australia once had the White Australia Poicy, a socially cohesive nationwide community with a very high degree of what constituted correct behaviour. It is people of your ilk that wanted multiculturalism. The result has been spiralling crime rates and even terrorism. Successive Labour and Liberal governments have been forced to enact wide ranging reductions in our civil liberties in order to combat these problems that people like me predicted and which could have been easily avoided.

I am amazed at your mentality. You demand that Australia adopt policies which are guaranteed to cause endemic social problems, and you then have the gall to criticise the people who have to try to remedy the problems that you created with your own stupidity.

What James O'Neil is really worried about is, that he'll lose his easy money as an Advocate for Potential Terrorists seeking Asylum & he'd have to go back to EARNING a living. Lawyers are like that.

He'd have to wait 6 months to get the Dole too. ;-) Waiting...... waiting.

The problem with people like LEGO and Jayb, is they have a whole lot of pieces but are totally clueless on how they fit together.

Well chosen pseudonym LEGO.

Yes we have a whole lot of pieces, it's just that some people don't like the end result when they are assembled correctly. Boom, boom.

Well, the usual trolls are really scraping the bottom of the barrel now. Lego wants a return to the white Australia policy. Tell us Lego, (as Arjay says, a singularly apposite pseudonym) were the original inhabitants of Australia consulted on that policy? No? Thought not. After all, those superior aged white males ensured that they enjoyed the same classification as fauna, thereby avoiding pesky inconveniences like voting rights. Does it occur to you that there are some fundamental problems with the fact that it took until 1976 to recognise that they were in fact humans.

Jayb, you really ought to consult the law of libel. There is a distinction between disagreeing on policy options and flailing around with ignorant allegations. Not a distinction you recognise obviously judging by your history of comments on this site.

For the record I have worked for a living for 55 years. 30 of those years have been as a barrister. It's quite possible that some of the people I have represented were potential terrorists, although when you think about it that covers just about anyone, particularly given the elastic definitions of a "terrorist" used by the Obama regime to justify killing of civilians by drone strikes and other acts of governments over the years.

@James,
<<were the original inhabitants of Australia consulted on that policy? No? Thought not…>>
So from this James by extension deduces that the descendants of those settlers have no right to determine immigration policy—that should be the exclusive prerogative of James and his elite.

PS James there was no monolithic class of “original inhabitants”, they came in successive waves—dare we use the word “invasions”.
