Ttbn,

What, do you mean that the US shouldn't invade Iraq again ? Completely agree, but it's a bit late for that.

Do you know of any great turmoil in Australia involving Turks, or Kurds ? Or do you mean they simply shouldn't exist, and neither should any other non-Anglo group already here ? That they should be either expelled or 'subtracted' ?

'Yeah, why don't they speak English on the buses ? Our buses ? Yeah, why don't they dress like proper people ? And eat proper food. While we're at it, let's ban inter-marriage between ethnic groups too. That'll show the bastards.'

Is that your bottom line ?

America told us lies to invade Iraq, it never should have stepped foot in that country
It fought with then did deals to MURDER the Kurds, America can not be trusted and must leave the middle east
To Trumps mate Putin
Current invasion ensures even more refugees, America should take them All, they made every one of them homeless

Oh dear.

What's wrong with us humans that we can't seem to
get along. Is it a football mentality - unless
you belong to the same club - you're the enemy.
Look at religion - the history is full of religious
wars. Taking sides in the name of our God. Mine is
better than yours. Mine is the true religion. How
often have we heard that.

We've gone through World Wars to end all wars.
We've continued our fighting. We've invaded other
countries. And our weaponry has increased as has
our capabilities to kill people.

We now have nuclear weapons - and unless we stop and
think about what we're doing - we have the capability
of destroying our civilisation.

How about we divert our unprecedented energy and resources
to the real problems that face us - including poverty,
disease, overpopulation, injustice, oppression,
and the devastation of our natural environment.

Why don't we try to enhance the life on the bright and
lovely planet on which billions of us share our adventure.

Or is that asking too much. My parents survived the
second world war. I don't want my grand-children to have to
die in another war.

Belly,

No, I don't think the US should get out of the Middle East at all, and now that they're sending troops to safer Saudi Arabia, they'll still be there. Pity about the Kurds. Puzzle: why abandon the Kurds and then send troops to defend the vile Saudi regime ? Is Trump planning a Mecca Twin Towers ?

No, they started so much of it all by invading Iraq, and from then on, they have owned the problems. The Kurds fought and died to help them with their problems, and now are being betrayed. The Yanks, having initiated so much of the problem, should in all decency stay until the bitter end.

Unless, of course, 'patriotism' prevails ? i.e. look after your own arse, no matter what damage you caused to other peoples'. Gutless wonders.

I suppose we shouldn't have expected any better from the Yanks - they didn't join in the First World War until almost the last year; and didn't come to the defence of Britain and Europe until they were attacked themselves two years after the Nazis (and the Russians) invaded Poland. And then, of course, they pissed off out of Vietnam. Unreliable 'friends'.

Lest we forget.

Dear Foxy,

It's all part of our extinction event. We just can't help driving ourselves into extinction.

The single greatest weakness in Australia's MultiCulturalism is all the exemptions granted to <insert-label> cultural groups...

Each exemption claimed in legislation by our government(s) is a prejudicial diminishing of our equally shared legal rights and legal responsibilities.

Principle exclusion is where compensations as awarded by courts in accordance with "on just terms" as required by our Constitution, in particular with section:

51 (xxxi) the acquisition of property on just terms from any State or
person for any purpose in respect of which the Parliament has
power to make laws;
