Aussies favor preemptive strikes against terrorists.
I'm not normally a fan of MLP... that sort of thing is best left to those who can't come up with any original ideas of their own. But I saw this on Fark and Drudge, and was so amused that I thought I'd pass it along:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...ia_terrorism_2 For those who can't be bothered to actually read the article before jumping in to discuss it, here's the most important quote: Quote:
To save everyone time, I've encapsulated below the discussion that this post will probably generate. Blah blah blah blah arrogant blah blah irresponsible blah blah immoral. Blah blah social inequities blah blah United Nations. Blah blah blah cultural prejudice blah blah willful ignorance blah blah valid cultural aspirations. Blah blah blah moral high ground blah blah blah total understanding blah blah credible means. Blah blah blah militant extremists blah blah red herring. Blah blah social oppression blah blah blah western hegemony blah blah coercive. Blah blah pejorative blah blah blah bias. Blah blah blah unfair blah blah kill them all and let God sort them out blah blah blah fascist blah blah blah blah ad hominem attacks blah blah blah Hitler blah blah blah mouthbreather. |

Only thing i have to say is this is not a new policy, not a reactionary policy to the Bali Bombings, merely an expansion of existing policy.

Yes, the PM did advocate more UN action and pre-emptive strikes. But then politicians also promised a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage. When he has some actions, then that part also becomes newsworthy. However already we have posted too many characters for what the article really deserves. Last edited by tw; 12-03-2002 at 02:55 PM. |
