If some regional war did flare as sought fervently by wish-fulfilling paranoids, then fair and peace-loving Australians need not fight it. A good change in political practice would see such a war fought only by its advocates and provocateurs. On counting them together thus, the deployment force would fill very few boats.

The majority of reasonable and just Australians could sit back, watch, and wince, as Tang and his like-minded grab-bag of regime-changing fundy christian marketeers and liberal "humanists" try to find and demonstrate their moral backbone beaching themselves, navigating in some jungle and operating various weapons. More interesting still, we might even get to see how they apply their research skills when trying to take on their actually multi-religious demon-enemies.

You pompous hatred of the white Australian is clearly evident whereby you insult a person who raising an important issue such pedophilia and violent domestic abuse amongst the Muslim society. It is a serious issue initially raised by Muslim women. Or, are you one of these males in the sect who support such depravity?

Of course - sorry spider! How could I forget the prominence of the "white minutemen" of Aryan Nation in such a project? Indeed you could be leading the push, at least notionally when the dirtier and more legally delicate jobs get dished out.

And in such esteemed company, meredith must surely now feel like the toughest Kapo on the block. Lovely.

'TR: very interesting that you bristled most about Hitchens. One of the most serious allegations possible is that concerning Hitchens' vocal and written endorsements for a massve war crime/crime against humanity which caused 1.2 million civilian deaths and counting.'

Since you are still banging on about Hitchens for some reason (I've already pointed out my preference for AC Grayling) I should point out that the vast majority of deaths in Iraq are not caused by the US forces. All the Americans have done is take the lid of a boiling pot that was, and is, a civil war. A civil war based on religious and ethnic faultlines. Even after 14 hundred years the Shia are still pissed off about the murders of Ali and Hussein. Only the likes of Islam can perpetuate such irrational hatred through the centuries. And that is its greatest weakness.

Yeah, "the natives are killing each other" stuff. Try rather the latter-day Phoenix operation in "surge".

Who attributed the count to "US forces"? The divisive policy is not much different from what arose after Balfour, or Mountbatten-supervised manipulation of low-level elites in Partition.

More anti-Islam hate-spam rubbish. Don't give up your day job; or is it your "day job"? Shouldn't surprise me, given the deliberately chaotic lies fed as news on Iraq.

I never fail to tire of the Islamic delusion. It's so entertaining.

Even when a Shia Muslim blows the brains out of a Sunni Muslim at point blank range in some Baghdad market its still the kafirs fault.
