Rudd won't go soft on terror

[Mark Stapleton]

There is no logic in the 'War against Terrorism' TM [size=12]It is an exercise in accounts management for the wealthy and makes perfect sense to them but for ordinary people here or there it is just a terrible waste of humanity.

P.S. That is very 'un-Australian' of you to criticise our little mate Kevin 07 like that. :tee:

I know. I should've given him both barrels.:aetsch:


The tired and quite absurd argument that we need to be over there to 'fight terror' is beneath contempt. The idea that we can fight terror by becoming terrorists ourselves (well over 100 civilians killed in the last two known US drone attacks) is as insulting as Lyndon Johnson claiming (repeatedly) in his infamous 1964 Gulf of Tonkin address that 'our mission is peace'.


I say the front line soldiers in this phony war should be the children of the Congressmen who support it, as well as the children of the weapons manufacturers, hawkish media barons and armchair warrior journalists. Let's see these fucking cowards put their money where their mouth is.
