Mollieme,

No, Using the above troll's rational I was only comparing their hairstyle.

Dear Mollieme,

Welcome to the forum.

You'll soon learn that on this forum you
may not be able to change the world -
but you can have fun trying to embarrass
the guilty.

As for Shadow Minister?
Well, he is brilliant -
to the top of his boots.

Dear Foxy,

Perhaps to the top of his thongs?

Dear Mollieme,

Welcome. I hope you enjoy your stay.

EmperorJulian, point taken re <<the PKK has been part of a long struggle for the self-determination of the Kurdish people from the various colonialist rulers in Turkey, Iraq and Iran.>> One of histories greatest cases of genocide The Armenian Genocide committed by Turkey during WWI resulted in as many as 1.5 million Armenians murdered. In the region in which Kurd's are pushing for independence, Armenians have also been in a struggle for independence for a very long time in those areas surrounding the present day Armenia. There is tension between Armenia and the Ukraine over Armenia's support for Crimean self-determination and its choice to join Russia. Again another very complex situation which is going to take some sorting out.

Mollieme welcome to the Forum.

Beach you attacked me for my comment, feigning indignation, but no such rebuke for Shadow over his comment, it was just a bit of satire was it. Your anti Green, pro conservative, sentiment on the forum is well documented. Get over it.

Dear SteeleRedux,

Well it's finally happened.

Our PM has committed us to a Middle-Eastern war
at the request of the US.

Who knows where this situation will lead and
where it will end.

Shouldn't we should have our own foreign policy - or
will we forever follow the US?

I would like to hear what others think about this
issue. How will our engaging in another war in Iraq
make Australia any safer?

The solution is simple. Christine Milne can lead a delegation of Australian Greens to Northern Iraq to meet and negotiate with ISIS directly. One big group hug, a rousing sing-a-long of Kumbayah and ISIS will see the light.

Christine Milne spent 30 minutes denouncing the Government decision to back the USA stating Australia needs its own foreign policy, yet like so many who criticise, she didn't offer up a viable alternative plan for dealing with ISIS.
