Iraq and Syria is created as spoils of the first world war. Western countries only see the state lines, but the problem is the people over there only see ethnic lines.


Forcing state lines onto people who only see ethnic lines is one of the many problems that is happening to day. And a war that enforce the state lines will only divide the people further apart along the ethnic lines.


 

The words of a neoconservative. Bring the war and fight it over there.


Never worked in WW1, never worked in WW2 (Japanese war criminals are still treated as heros), and never going to work in the middle east.


As for stopping the enemy. What happened to the fiscal crisis? Wasn't that the enemy before? Is it fair to say when the people don't buy the lies and these pollies had to manufacture a new crisis to gain support? 

 

I don't agree with the public display of beheadings. It's a criminal act (murder) and there are already laws for it. 

 

You trust a politician to say we need to save money, and then join a war? Where's the money going to come from?

 

Crimes are committed every day, as said there's already a system of laws for that.


Going to war is not the same as finding the criminals that commit the act.


Iraqi government asking for international help means it's a sign they are incapable of doing the law enforcement. i.e. it's a lawless country. What has the coalition been doing in the last ten years? What happened to the western trained police/military?


If you do not do this the right way, you'd never earn the peoples' trust over there.

 

 

 

 

All very popular views but somewhat tarnished by the facts.

 

Middle East history did not commence with the 20th century. Think of any major empire apart from the chinese that has not had it's little go at the middle east.

But... We _have_ a budget that needs to get back to surplus ASAP! Look at the budget, the government is serious. Or was..


Now, suddenly we are going to fight this war. 

 

Can this government achieve both? Fight a war, and get the budget back to surplus?

Hi JS!

Are you saying I can't spell Burka?

Or that I need a lesson in weird cultures?

 

No, just a link for everyone to read in case they don't understand the differences in garments worn.

 

Not trying be an a$$ to you... but no cultures are "weird", merely "different".

[JSmith]

The culture of head chopping definitely falls into more than weird. Try diabolical, which means "of the devil"

 

I agree... as I don't think chopping off peoples heads is really part of any "culture", moreso a cult.

I don't even eat Chinese takeaway! Sorry Glen, just not for my tummy.

I'm Singaporean Chinese, and I wouldn't eat Chinese takeaway too!

 

Me and Pete are just weird  :blink:, hope that's all right with you Glen ...  

[treblid]

Anyway Myrantz, what have you got against Chinese Takeaway?

95% of asian takeaway (in Perth anyway) are deep fried stuffs... I said "stuffs" because often times you don't know what it is just by a simple look.

Or in other words, when will Hong Kong get any democracy/independance?

Independence not within my lifetime, but hopefully democracy soon (as laid out in the basic law).

It is a hard balance/struggle trying to weigh between the current (status quo) and the future. Hong Kong (btw) again is a problem created by the West.

Back OT a bit, reckon Hockey will scrap the PPL to fund the war?

already talk of it
 
i dont think they ever intended to introduce it anyway, PPL is more a socialist idea, they were just trying to get a few greedy marginal voters on board and will now leave them high and dry
 
...as usual

Think it's the same thing with this war.. Get a few marginal voters on board... But leave the troops potentially high and dry..

[JSmith]

True, but If you blow both up a bit anyone can see the difference, sighted people I mean.

Blind people will be happy to see either.


At normal distances and density I cannot, but my equally old mate sees plenty of difference.

Actually I am sorry for the discerning who do see the difference as it must annoy the shti out of them.

No enjoyment in that.

And yes I would happily watch old B&W!

 

Peter, you should join DTV/AV Forum and post there that your "old" mates can see the difference. Don't worry you'll get plenty of backup...

Well back on topic I must say the good cop bad cop routine that Abbott and Hockey are adopting has elevated Abbotts statesman image while maintaining pressure on Electricity Bill.

[POWERZONE]

Agreement is good for the soul!

Perhaps that does not apply to atheists?

As an atheist I can happily agree with your first sentence whilst replying "no" to the second

"Business conditions hit six-year high: NAB"
 

Add to this a lower A$

Lower fuel prices.

 

This is good news indeed!

 

 

Wonder how the other folks see this.

I'm wondering if we're reading the same article..

 

The survey showed business confidence continuing to erode, as firms remain uncertain over near-term demand. The index dropped 1 point to a reading of 4, its lowest level since a pre-election jump in mid-2013.

That kind of means companies are holding on their cash reserves and not expanding, improving or hiring new staffs. The next rate movement is likely to be down... May be too little too late, RBA can't pump up the economy too hastily given how mad sydney is right now, so everywhere else have to suffer for a few months yet.

Sydney house prices are on the hooch; get rid of negative gearing

The biggest concern for me is the labour price index in the private sector. Pay rises are becoming a thing of the past, so don't expect the (sluggish) consumer confidence to vastly improve anytime soon.
