"Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said today the U.S. and the rest of the democratic world is at a security crossroads in the wake of last month’s deadly al-Shabab attack at a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya – and suggested an answer could be in arming civilians.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Noble said there are really only two choices for protecting open societies from attacks like the one on Westgate mall where so-called “soft targets” are hit: either create secure perimeters around the locations or allow civilians to carry their own guns to protect themselves...."

Of course it's old news (2013) but the bloke might have a point.

Dear Is Mise,

Yes you're absolutely right.

We have three choices.

1) Convert them.

2) Deport them.

3) Get a gun and shoot them.

Problem solved!

Foxy, if you don't have a solution to offer, it is not really very constructive to sling off at those who are prepared to try to offer one. The 3 options you put down may be the ONLY choices available.

I'm surprised at you.

Dear Hassie,

I'm surprised at you taking my facetious
remarks so seriously.

cont'd ...

We have the chance, to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older

We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, Oh-wo-wo-wo
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live in fear
Oh-wo-wo-wo-wo, Oh-wo-wo-wo ...

The first choice is not to allow 'diversity' and political cynicism, opportunism and corruption, to inappropriately sway and dominate immigration policy.

As a child I remember Italian family friends being utterly confused and exasperated by Australian immigration officials who despite warnings form Italian police, were so casual and ignorant to import migrant groups from locales and families that were notorious with Italian authorities and Italian people for their longstanding Mafia connections, or for other noxious traditions. Italian friends said 'but there are plenty of good people, why take them?'

Italian authorities regularly complain that Australian authorities refuse to share intel. An immigration minister allowed a notorious and very dangerous Mafia head in against the pleading of Italian police.

Labor had their Al Grassby, and other political connections with crime and internationally contentious figures under the Whitlam government,

Australia is a stronghold for the nastiest of Italian Mafia, the Calabrian Mafia.

Over the years both sides of the federal Parliament and State and Territory politicians were adamant that there was no evidence whatsoever of emerging criminal gangs in Australia. Reports by brave journalists were pooh, poohed and where the journalist continued, both he and his family were subjected to pressure and abuse and his career and marriage wrecked.

The purpose of this example is to surface the real problem, which is the sacred cow of immigration, the politically convenient agreement of the major political parties that censors and buries any criticism of poor policy and mistakes. That and the pursuit of a 'Big Australia', along with the selfish over-exploitation of resources now and leaving nothing for generations to come.
