Paul<br />I totally agree with you Australia is no different. Whe have lost the plot, a man goes out of his way to Bash and rob elderly people, Not only he robbed them he had to put the boot in too. He gets caught, he goes to court, his barrister tells the court the Magic words of today "He was Sexually abused by an Alien, the jury feels pity, he was on drugs because of what the Alien did to him so he gets off on a good behavior bond. WHAT A LOT OF SHIT! I'm sick of these fucking lawyers bending the truth out there and trying to convince the jury that the accused had a bad life so we should feel pity on the poor Guy.<br />My opinion is HANG THE PRICK.<br />Now back to the War in Iraq. I don't know what you are able to watch in the US, but I know what I have seen for years, what has been happening in Iraq. I will never forget the piles of dead Kurds that Saddam Insane gased, it has scarred my brain. All I want to know was these vicious murders of the captured Americans during the start of the Iraq war around the same time as Jessica Lynch shown on the US Television because between Al-Jazeera, Al Manar, Al Alam, they showed the works.<br />Our local paper during the first month of the war had plenty of people whingeing about the US soldiers, how cruel they were because the Yanks had the state of the art in weapons and the poor Iraqi's had stone age equiptment and also the poor Iraqi's will be mistreated by the US soldiers if Captured.<br />Most of the complaints came from Women. Now I asked the Editor and these pathetic individuals to come to my house where I would have a private viewing of the Video of the Massacre of the Kurds. The killing and shooting of the US soldiers between their eyes and they all declined and told me rubbish that does not happen that way. But remember they refused to view the video, but continued to mouth off on their merry way.<br />Now ALL MEDIA IN AUSTRALIA REFUSED to show it but reported it differently. As for the 4 contractors killed not long ago could you imagine how their families feel when they see that shit of the Iraqi's being played with and put in compromising positions compared to what happened to their family members being butchered, tied, dragged and hung off a bridge? How can you compare that?. The Australian media has shown time after time the same shots of the naked Iraqi soldiers in that compromising position showing how bad the Yank soldiers are but said very very very little about the contractors being killed. Everything gets edited out of Australian news but I saw the lot on these Arabic channels which I think should be forced down the Australian population throat to prove you are dealing with creatures lesser than an animal.<br />I'm lost for words, I have shown these videos even to the most vivid non believer, they changed their minds VERY QUICKLY.<br />Phil
