"And that the focus by
both parents, the schools, and the communities
in general will be on our humanity, understanding,
and empathy as opposed to the cruelty and inhumanity
that these kids have suffered."

and what about those among us who will seek out these children, in later life, and try to awaken in them admiration for their father and his ideals and then set them on another path?

Is MIse,

Bad influences are everywhere as we know.
Hopefully, what they will experience and
be taught now, will stand them in good stead.
At least we, and they, shall know that they
were not given up on. Ultimately the choices
in life -
will be theirs to make. The same is true of
our own children.

Being on this site never ceases to amaze. When I heard of the kids being bought back, it never occurred to me that people would find that objectionable.

What is wrong with them? These kids didn't go off of their own volition. They were dragged into hell by their moronic parents following a moronic ideology. They are blameless.

Now I'm the first to say that our duties and obligations to the world's refugees are limited and that we need to be careful about who we bring here and offer assistance toward. But these are Australian kids, Australian citizens. Our obligations and duties to them aren't limited. They deserve every assistance we can muster.

Struth, what is wrong with you people?

Dear mhaze,

Good post from you.

This should be the focus of concern rather than any issue with these children.

"The Perth father of a 27-year-old man who was hacked to death by a Rwandan militia has been left devastated after discovering two of his son's alleged killers have been resettled in Australia."

"After spending years in US immigration detention, the two Rwandan men were recently settled in Australia as part of a refugee swap deal first negotiated by former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull and Barack Obama's US administration."

would not be discussing this problem if the regressives in Labour/Liberal/Greens had of had one ounce of courage in making sure that we selected people who shared Australian values to immigrate here. As usual its looks like conservatives have to clean up the putried mess of marxist/regressives who cause havoc and then expect others to clean up.

runner,

It's more complicated than that. And blaming
Labor or the Greens and throwing terms like -
"Marxists/Regressives," around makes you look
silly.
