A sensible suggestion Foxy, totally agree. I'll leave the bombs, the chocolates, and all the other guff to those who want to pursue it.

Dear Paul,
I forgot to add that acknowledging Captain Cook's landing can also be done well if it included our Indigenous People in the ceremonies - making it about inclusion and a renewed appreciation of an ancient culture. Enjoy your day and All The Best to lovely "t". Posted by Foxy, Friday, 8 November 2019 9:40:51 AM

Paul,
Your little paragraph to me makes no mention of what caused the explosion, it could well be artilary or mortar from the North, if they knew our troops were there, and our troops were as they helped after the explosion. You make up far too much and this time you are caught out. A honest person would admit he has no evidence for what he claims. But as I said, it is not in the nature of the left to withdraw a wrong comment. Posted by HenryL, Friday, 8 November 2019 9:58:33 AM

I've just come across this useful site. Perhaps we could all learn something from it? http://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/ulterior-motives/201406/the-danger-labeling-others-or-yourself Posted by Foxy, Friday, 8 November 2019 12:40:04 PM

Lets all move on.
Finger-pointing does not achieve anything constructive.
Documents do exist that contain information about
military operations relating to illegal conducts
undertaken. However, none of us are really in any position to
judge . Our nation has been engaged in an almost
unbroken chain of major and minor wars since WWII.
Lets leave it to the experts to examine the reasons and scale
of the military operations. And allow them to try to avoid
repeating immoral mistakes.
