says it all really

60 + years of rubbish & lack of respect for people, has created a chasm of hatred.

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?

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?

Posted

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'.

Found on Irish TV... Banned in the USA...
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.

Americans voted Jr. into office TWICE.

Less than two years later Americans seem intent on blaming it all on Obama."

Now Deash break out in Afghanistan.

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

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
