[quote=Pyro]australia are blind followers of whatever britain does, and britiain are blind followers of whatever USA does...so they're a target for their involvement in the afgani wars and the iraq war.[/quote:d0eb7]

Do you even actually know what you're talking about? The Australians aren't blind followers of what ever Britain does to any extent. The Howard government is in bed with Bush, and it's not at all because of their relationship with Britain. oOo:

They're targeted because of their involvement in the coalition.

There was a lot of support here to stay with the war on terror after the first Bali boming which killed 88 Australians,
also which took place before the war in Iraq, so Australians were being targeted before the Iraq coalition was formed.

Prior to that we were involved in Afghanistan as were many countries, all of which are targets also...people shouldn't
kid themselves they're immune from terrorism because they opted out of one war after supporting another.

Just being a western democracy is reason enough to these people, oh and there's always the crusades don't forget.. cuss:

I remember that I was gona take a trip to Israel w/ my government class we were making a pit stop there before going to a Mach-UN thing, I completely forgot what is called ... Well this was around 9/11 and when the war started ... well my teacher confidently said that this whole war thing would be done with in a weekend when it would start. I remember I bet her on it like $1 cause my dad was telling me that this wasn’t gona be like any other war and it could last years.

I have to collect on that biatch.

She was confident in the UN … She got really mad at me when I told her the UN is like the League of Nations and it would fail miserably, and perhaps disappear.

Also now that I remember we paid at the beginning of the year, I’m unsure if she refunded our money back for the trip.
