But but but...

Foxy,

We don't have to RELY on what some partisan tells us about the Holocaust and the various wars. We can find out about them from other sources. The accounts of the participants might enliven the dry history or add nuance, but whether we heard their accounts or not, we'd still know these things occurred.

Paul's claims however are not supported by anything other than the accounts of possible participants many years hence.

See the difference?

mhaze,

Actually no.

The Nurenburg Trials and other war crimes court cases were based
on the accounts of witnesses.

The lack of interest in the fact that Australian politicians actually celebrated 70 years of Communism - responsible for death of 40 million Chinese themselves - and that Victoria Police flew a Chinese flag, is a pretty good indicator how unconcerned Australians are about the China threat to Australia and themselves. What a useless, undeserving bunch of dropkicks you are.

Nice one Foxy, me thinks you hit mhaze for six. BTW Mhaze my old man would be 109 if alive today, so he was well advanced in the 1930's. What high school history book are you quoting from?

Menzies got his nick name 'Pig Iron Bob' from the wharfies of Port Kembla who refused to load pig iron bound for Japan. Menzies claimed Australian iron was being used by the Japanese to make "toys", and not to bomb the crap out of the Chinese. I will say Mhaze, Pig Iron Bobs loyalty to Britain superseded his admiration of Nazi Germany and imperialist Japan. I don't believe Australia's interests were ever of much concern to Menzies.

Dear Paul,

It's lovely to see the high regard you have for your
dad. I loved mine as much. My parents fled from the
Soviet Regime during World War II. He also had some
horrific memories. Although he didn't talk about them
much.

ttbn,

I can see how upset you are about our politicians
attending the 70th Celebrations of Communist China.
And the police flying the flag.

I can't explain or understand it -
except perhaps - its all to do with
business interests.

However here's a link as to how some Chinese Australians
felt about the celebrations:

Dear Foxy,

Australian politicians celebrating the Chinese Communist Party's 70th anniversary makes sense if you accept that Australia has a Chinese future, which it now seems that some of the politicians seem to recognise.

The Victorian police flying the Chinese flag is a symbolic gesture that the State is bound to the destiny of China and the inevitability that Australia is fast becoming a quasi-Chinese nation.

I think it validates what I have been predicting.
