Yes I am still waiting for the blossoming Iraq democracy we were promised by the US neocons! You know the democracy that would be a beacon of light to the rest of the Arabic world. Something seems to have gone wrong with the theory. In fact Iraq is no longer a country, it has broken up into various ethnic, religious states or enclaves. I read today the Iraq's Christian minority is no more, they have been murdered and dispersed. Great outcome George and Dick! At least under the hated Sadam H they had some protection.

Sad am was a tyrant but it seems that is what these country's need to stay intact.

I personally would love to press gang Bush, Cheney and other NeoCons into service in Baghdad, in amongst the violence and the chaos, to try to realise their theoretical fantasy.

Good ideas at the time can just die in the dust of reality. this wasn't the smartest concept, & carried out with the care of a 'H' bomb.

The invasion of Iraq was imo a war crime which the United Nations were against, but arrogance & power overruled the law of democracy again; so the willing went in, not to find WOMD, but IMO to put a Western wedge in between Iran & Israel. & to regain western control of the oil fields.

stupidity of the highest order thinking the Muslims would/could live by democracy when they have a different social fabric than that of the west.

# the same mistakes made in the wrecking of our Koori's cultures, thinking they also should live like Nuclear families apparently should?

thats the least we could do IMO. these people in charge of the worlds peoples affairs are never held to account, unless they're on the wrong side of things. the losing side....

ah, where are they all now... maybe we could use them to trade for the Journo's...

Indonesia says hello.

No, they don't have a perfect democracy yet, but they are well on the way.

true Indonesia, yes, but what, they have a model democracy don't they, not.

may be well on the way during settled times, but when things get agitated, I think they all seperate into the fragments of they're cultures.

Doesn't that happen in other places too? Even in other democracies? Places like Ferguson, Missouri in the US of A? Didn't they have to call in the National Guard?

during times of agitation, cultural differences can become Major problems.

This is why I think its wise to keep your immigration to people who are a 'closer fit' to your existing culture... West Indies, Kiwi's, Balinese, British, Scots, European, Polynesian, Buddhists, Japanese, Viets, SthEast Asians, etc.

I'm not sure what the common thread is that you see in those cultures / countries that makes them a suitable fit for Australia.

I guess what I'm asking is: who do you think we should keep out?

  • Author

most of those cultures blend in fairly seamlessly. they seem to be familiar with our culture & accept our culture & respect it. this is Key IMO. there are many here driving taxi's who have no time for us or our culture, & just want to besmirch us & to crap on us & this country.

there is a bit of a distinction.

humbleness, humility, peaceful natured, appreciative, respectful,,,,,,,,

Driving taxis? You can only be referring to Indians and Pakistanis. Why not say so?

I don't agree with your proposition anyway. Many of those taxi drivers have degrees and double degrees and cannot get work in their chosen fields - they bust a gut doing work for which they are overqualified so they can feed their families and send their kids to good schools.

Hard work, aspiration for a better life - sounds pretty Australian to me (in terms of how 'we' see ourselves).

as i said, there are good & bad in all nations.

we have far too many in my book here now, & I would like to see more from burma, thailand, vietmam, stheast asia generally, & less from the mid east & near east & nth africa.

but thats my opinion, but uncle tony is being wooed by the dollar again & more will be on the way.

may have to compare his name to the 'Pigmetal Bob'..... 'Yellowcake Tony'.

George Bush does his best to stop the tough questions from rebuttle. It is common practice for the news station to provide a list of questions and potential questions to the President. On every single rebuttle question the interviewer asks, George Bush cuts her short, and they never return to her real questions.

Now Deash break out in Afghanistan.

Isis just spread to Afghanistan and now has ‘1,600 militants there’

The so called Islamic State has just got a little bigger.   Isis, also known as Daesh, has apparently expanded into Afghanistan and is said to have assumed control over four districts.   The terror group was able to capture the areas south of Jalalabad after an estimated 1,600 militants launched an assault, according to the Times.

A camp may have already been set up in Nangarhar province, Afghanistan, with supporters tweeting out images of it, the Long War Journal added.

Daesh was thought to have taken advantage of a splintered Taliban force, whose leader Mullah Akhtar Mansoor was reportedly injured in Pakistan last week.

But yesterday he released a rare audio recording in which he denied claims he was wounded in a shootout during a meeting with other commanders.

......  The withdrawal of Western armies is also thought to played a part in Daesh deciding to expand.

The United States confirmed it was monitoring the situation in the country,  with local troops thought to be overwhelmed. 

‘We are aware of the presence of Isil-affiliated militants in Afghanistan,  and we are monitoring closely to see whether their emergence will have a meaningful impact on the threat environment in the region,’ a Pentagon spokesperson said.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
