Umm, thanks, I'm just glad I made sense to someone else

Yes, I agree, tolerance and perspective, important things for us all, and perhaps its a good idea to be reminded of this.

They dont have the power to do this. Yet.

BTW, George Orwell wrote some great stuff other than 1984!!!

Hehehe nice line of thought! It sure beats the whole "if we do <something> then they've won"

So if they don't do something, like kill me, then I've won :P

My thoughts:
Howard needs to pull his head out of Bush's ****.
We are a land girt by sea, and still a very very young country.
We have more foreingers here than Australians (yes I'm exaggerating) They have no more reason to attack us than say the Solomon Islands.
We are only being threatened by the troops we have.

This was all propaganda to get the America's scared and supporting the Patriot Act. Which means that in the process of trying to protect their freedom, the US citizens gave up some of their freedoms.

John Howard is now using the same scare tactics on the Australian population. He his hoping to convince enough dimwits that he has their best interests at heart with the anti terrorist legislation.

I say if we stopped creating terrorists then they will stop attacking us.

I think I was sent this by someone on here... but I'm gonna put it here anyway. I think it sums up the whole lot:

FF, your detailed knowledge of intelligence matters in a country on the other side of the planet are very impressive. Did you come up with that all by yourself? Seems ironic that you would spout the term "propaganda"...

Try this one on for size:

Speculation.
