Whiny? Hardly. You need to lookup the definition of whiny my friend.

Do you not have a responsibility to correct injustices when you have the power to do so?

Maybe some of you don't. Turn around, walk away. Pretend those bad men don't exist. Go on about your day and hopefully that bad man will never bother someone you do care about...

Don't forget to steal that bad man's Chevron credit card while you're at it. After all, the US only does things like that for oil.

I'm glad that the majority of Australians I've met are friendly, courageous, and not 100% distrustful of everything our government does. Is our government perfect? Ha! Far from it. Is it inherently evil? Absolutely not.

BTW - very good analogy, TB.

All countries have this. They need to be seen doing something sometimes.

How sadly cynical.

Look, A thief is the first one to lock his own doors. Maybe Aussie 929 and Cowboy couldn't imagine themself going over there for any other reason than to take the peoples oil. Therefore they have now other way to think of us. It's truly sad indeed.

Somalia?

There is simply no sense of balance in any of your arguments. You allow the left wing portion of the media to tell you bed time stories, and you're perfectly content. At least that's how you come across here.

The fact that you make statements like your recent "Bush lovers" shows that you are indeed heavily partisan and do not possess the skills or knowledge to carry on a balanced and thoughtful conversation.
