Hilarious how moderators use the word "Nazi" with pride, thinking it give them some sort of power over everyone else.
Sorry! I did not mean to be racist towards Nazis.
that is so random and so stupid! why pick on someones sig! You do your best to stir these forums and cause trouble. You randomly pick on people in completely uncallled for attacks. I don't think suzi meant that to lord herself over everyone and give herself power. and you say "moderators". I don't see the other 2 mods with the same sig. you said in the flag thread:
Quoted from Aussies_Online
You people are constantly defending the Palestinians and the Muslims in general, while you don't even know what your country's flag represents, and as a result, you have no respect for your own country.
Quite frankly, you are over your head. You want to solve the world problems without having a clue of what it is all about.
Who is you people? Don't lump everyone in together. And nazi's are not a race.
The core of that mentality is that everyone should follow the same path and be totally uniform, even in their thoughts.
It is a mentality that says, "Do it my way. Listen to me and do as I say because I know what's best. Obey me." It's a mentality that leads to autocracy whatever its guise.
It is the egoistic kernel of a selfish, control-freak child mentality.
The adult mentality looks at others and says, "And how do you feel about this issue?" It is willing to accommodate others and put themselves in their "enemy's" shoes.
The worst proponent of fascist mentality in modern history has been the Anglo-Saxon empire. It conquers others, enslaves them, takes their resources, sometimes their land. But tells its children that only others practise these things.
Ironically, the Anglo-Saxon Empire sees itself as the most virtuous of all nations. It portrays itself as the most morally right. The most fit to lead. A leader of mankind.
WASPs continue to see their control of the world as benevolence. They turn a blind eye to the enormous amount of suffering that they cause directly and indirectly.
The non-Anglo-Saxons of the world see the Anglish as hypocritical and self-righteous leading to arrogant. If they're right and the Anglish are in their ascendancy and do control the world, then what a pity it is that the Anglish do not take advantage of their power to apply these words from one of their sons:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
In researching if this was genuine or fake I certainly came across some nasty stuff in boards and blogs that's for sure. The sheer ignorance out there on all sides and the blatant racism along with calls for Israel and the US to wipe out all Arabs, the cancer eating away at the world, were very scary to read.
Same here, Boomslanger. And I did get a reply back from the sender. Those pics were lifted from a video of the protest regarding the cartoons.
Back to the topic: Latest news on Israel using cluster bombs in Lebanon
"BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) -- Homes, gardens and highways across south Lebanon are littered with unexploded cluster bombs dropped by Israel, the U.N. said Friday, and the U.S. State Department has reportedly launched an investigation."
If they DID use cluster bombs, I wonder where they got them from? Lets see:
"This week, the U.S. State Department began investigating Israel's use of American-made cluster bombs in south Lebanon, and whether their use violated secret agreements with Washington, The New York Times reported Friday."
How ironic is that? The U.S. sold them the bombs, then made them agree not to use them... and now they're investigating it. In the words of Rove... "WHAT THE??????" I would call that a conflict (excuse the pun) of interest. The U.N. should be the one investigating.

This is the Australia that John Howard has created.
Anyone see that news clip in QLD with the two parents who questioned Howard over why he sent their 2 children (and other people's children) to a war where they are not defending their country? Howard responded by saying something like "well that is your opinion and I respect that". The parents went on to say "it's not your children that your sending to war", and Howard (shamefully) replied "my children didn't choose the military as their career". It was such a disgusting response from a cold and callous man.
Yes when you join the military you have to expect that you may be sent into combat or peace keeping missions where it can be dangerous, but as the head of the military the Prime Minister should consider everyone in the military as his children, not as expendable pieces of worthless crap.
The ability of this man to make my stomach turn never ceases!

You've hit the nail on the head. This is the exact reason why anti-western sentiment and terrorism has grown and is on the increase.
Prior to Iraq I think we were on the right track. We minded our own business. There were a few nasty things we were doing such as stealing oil from our poor neighbour East Timor but we were keeping our noses clean and not interfering internationally where we were not wanted. Howard derailed all of this by going to Iraq and he has set us on a very dangerous course which I can only hope the next Government whether it be labor or liberal brings to an end.

A predictably simplistic right-wing response to this would be:
"So you would rather live in a country where they cut your hands off for stealing, and kill you for dissenting against the government? Why don't you move to Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan then, since you hate Anglo Saxon's and western culture so much."
Because by criticising the actions of your Government and other western Governments you in some way implied that you hate your country and it's citizens but love barbaric middle-eastern cultures and can't wait to have your rights (or what's left of them after dictator howard does away with them) completely taken away from you.
RUAG Aerospace also provide material included are reconnaissance drones, ammunition and communication equipment under contract to the Swiss gov to meet obligations between the Swiss government and Israel.
Lockheed sold Israel approximately 80 AGM-142D Popeye air-to-surface missiles. Israel also buys the AGM65 Maverick air-to-surface missile produced by Hughes and Raytheon.
The real danger comes in Israel's habit of reverse engineering U.S. technology and selling to nations hostile to U.S. interests. Israel's client list includes Cambodia, Eritrea, Ethiopia, the South Lebanon Army, India, China, Burma and Zambia.
TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 18, 2006 -- The Raytheon Missile Systems and BAE Systems Bofors' Excalibur team successfully test-fired two global positioning system (GPS)-guided 155 mm artillery projectiles that functioned as intended against simulated tactical targets Aug. 10. The program is a cooperative effort between the United States and Sweden.

I hope that the next government is selfsihly out for Australia's interests. If Howard is right, and we need to fight for America's interests, then let's do so with up to date equipment supplied by Uncle Sam for free. Let's be totally mercenary and spend the defence budget back home on our social services.
After the results in land and people lost , was there any thing to claim Victory over
Divine Victory ? ? ? . . I think not.
If the God they worship measures His success by results like we see there, it could in no way be described as a Divine Victory. Future war is now a certainty. What God with any true power would leave the whole world in any doubt that HE had visited and aided HIS people . . if it were true and Israel is a true enemy of Islam . . . Israel would be gone from the map.
Instead we see hysterical zealots ranting like madmen that they need to kill a percieved enemy for 'blasphemy' because their God is not capable of defending Himself.
DEMOCRACY = Voters deciding by Poll on who will be the local member that "Big Business" will push around.
Well not a Divine victory but they did have one of sorts and militarily they came out the better. Right now it is Hizbollah that is mostly helping to rebuild the shattered Lebanese lives, giving aid and rebuilding hospitals and schools. So who do you think the Lebanese people will see as right in this attack by Israel?
Hizbollah, completely outnumbered and only armed with very old Soviet weapons faced the most modern and hardened army in the world. With all that technology thrown against them and even the US directly helping Israel by arming it with some terrible weapons, Hizbollah saw the Israeli's leave without completing their stated mission of wiping Hizbollah off the Lebanese map.
I am not and never will be a supporter Hizbollah and want to see them detroyed, but how Israel went about it was wrong on every front and even they admit they lost far more soldiers than they had anticipated and the war was taking much longer than they had planned, so much so that America had to step in and rearm Israel.
Might not have been a Divine victory, but many more Arabs were turned to the cause and Hizbollah's status in their eyes was raised now they have taken on the might of Israel and the US three times and fought them to a kind of stalemate. That is the reality of it.
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.
Hizbollah are terrorists remember. If they get bodies on the deck at the end of the day they're happy

Boomslanger said: "I am not and never will be a supporter Hizbollah and want to see them detroyed."
I find it very sad that today's media do not present Hezbollah and other resistance groups for what they are.
They are the same as:
- Israel's Zionist military wings: the Hagannah, the Stern Gang, the IDF and Irgun, Moshad and Shabbak
- The IRA
- The American army in their War of Independence led by George Washington
- the Mao Mao led by Kenyatta, later PM of Kenya
- the Greek Indpendence fighters
- the Resistance in Nazi Occupied Europe
- the Vietcong
- the Chechens
- in short anyone who has taken up armed resistance in response to an invader.
All people that bomb and shoot the people of an Occupation are by definition terrorists. Far too many Australians and Americans use the term when what they mean is: "the people fighting for their independence who I don't like"
The people they like, who do the same things as the enemy are seen as heroes and decked with medals and paraded thru the streets.
You have to treat everyone the same and every case the same, to be ruled by law. Otherwise you are sinking to barbarity and not acknowledging people's rights to defend themselves when invaded by another.
Occupiers are always more powerful than the occupied. The occupied therefore have to fight in a clandestine and more primitve way.
Israeli forces crossed from southern Lebanon to begin the last phase of their withdrawal under a UN resolution to end a war with Hezbollah, according to an an Israeli security source.
Israel had already pulled out most of the 10,000 troops who entered Lebanon during 34 days of fighting which followed Hezbollah's abduction of two soldiers in a cross-border raid on July 12. A cease-fire took hold on August 14.
Israeli defence officials said they hoped the last of the forces would be able to leave before the start of Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, at dusk on Sunday.
About 1,200 Lebanese, mostly civilians, and 157 Israelis, mostly soldiers, were killed in the fighting - the worst since Israel's 1982 invasion.
Israeli forces had withdrawn from Lebanon in 2000 after 22 years of occupation.
Israel's army did not comment on when the pullout would be completed.
Israeli media said only a few hundred troops with some armoured vehicles remained on Saturday.
Lebanese officials said the commander of UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, Major General Alain Pellegrini, had informed Prime Minister Fouad Siniora that Israel planned to complete its withdrawal by Sunday.
