I wouldn't worry about terrorists here - Australia is the only country that has been targeted, and NZ has hardly any muslims, and hardly any Australians.

The following is an observation made by myself rather than hard facts. Some of you may want to just disregard this entire post, others may not, but this is my opinion of the events taking place in Australia currently. This is what I see happening in many countries around the world. It happening in Australia wouldn't suprise me with the Howard government. I'm sure most of those who lean to the right will laugh and say i'm crazy, but none the less, this is what I see:

Australia is in the process of trying to pass legislation, similar to the patriot act in the US, giving police and government agencies extrodinary powers to protect the citizens from terrorists. From what I understand, there was somewhat of an outcry from the bill. The bill is what I posted a link to above.

Just a few days ago, the Australian government issued a terrorist alert saying that buildings bridges and subways could be targeted by terrorists.

A link can be found here:

Now they say they've caught 17 suspected terrorists as per the link above.

I see the two events as fear mongering in order to gain support for tougher terrorist measures and in turn creating public acceptance of the bill trying to be passed.

So all in all we have legislation trying to be passed. On the eve of introduction, a terrorist alert is given. When the bill passes, 17 terrorists are arrested due to the fact that the bill was implemented which clearly shows the people that the legislation is appropriate.

Now everyone feels good and tingly inside.

Obviously, i'm skeptical. We're playing a game. The government tells you to be afraid and that they'll protect you. Every country does it, Mine, yours, everyones.

you got that part right. rolleyes:

[quote="Eight Ace":f4720]you got that part right. rolleyes:[/quote:f4720]actually, I noticed this as well. Wat better way to convince the australian citizens that the bill is necessary?

Why are they gona bomb Australia?

This proves those terrorists are a bunch of goons. No one can be happy, terrorist are like those loner kids at school that wish that everyone was a lonely and miserable as them.

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.

yeah but is not like they sent thousands of troops to iraq.

Well...They hate the west right...I guess it could be considered guilt by association. Canada is on the hit list and we don't support the Iraq war at all. But they haven't touched us either yet.

Well this all leads to nonsense, I said this in another post but this is like no one can't be happy because they have been brainwashed from birth, and that is if they survived the oppression from Saddam. So no one can be happy, be successful, have a life, leave in peace, have gas guzzlers, enjoy looking at a woman, and some other stuff.

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.
