ttbn,

You claimed on another thread that you treat people you meet with
friendliness and politeness because that's the way you were brought up and you don't pose to be different to something you're not.
That sounded quite lovely. That's why your latest post and
response on Paul has me confused. Is your latest
response on Paul an example of your being who you really are?
Because it surely doesn't speak well of you. Try again.

Far be it for me to come to Paul's defence, but General Macarthur DID plan to drop the Big One on the north along the Yalu, once the Chinese army had moved into northern Korea in late 1950. To his credit, President Truman promptly sacked him.

Paul,

And between 1941 and 1941 the Russians murdered 5 million Germans, in 1960 the communists murdered thousands of civilians, and in 1967 The arabs murdered a couple of thousand Jews, and in Iraq the Iraqis murdered a few thousand Americans etc etc.

If you keep on using the word murder it becomes meaningless, pretty much like the greens.

Shadow Minister,

Genocide and murder is never meaningless.

The determination to write indictments in mass
killings, however, all too easily leads onto the
questionable practice of stereotyping nations.
Continued stereotyping of any nation, however, can
encourage "counter-stereotyping" and the result is
usually a complete breakdown in communication.

Foxy,

I agree that the wanton labelling of every Aus soldier as a murderer is the act of a fraud and a coward.

Foxy,

Just to refresh your memory, you said:
"All you have to do is get hold of
a copy from your local library of the
book I mentioned earlier. It confirms
what Paul is saying by the veterans
themselves who took part in the conflict"

How do you know it confirms anything as you haven't read it.

"Every State Public Library has the information you're
seeking. Librarians don't have to read all the books
but they certainly can refer you to the information
you're after. If you're not in a major city your local
library can acquire the information through inter-library
loans."

I don't necessarily want to read it, I want Paul and backer to shew me the evidence that Australian soldiers threw bombs at children.

You read the book, you need to do so, if only for the restoration of some credibility.
