Hey, thanks for the kind words. You might enjoy reading this delightfully politically incorrect article written by a retired policeman about crime of ethnic origin in our major capital city. The perpetrators are in most instances second and third generation descendants of migrants of ME descent. So much for the multicultural experience...well, at least we are able to read all about it!

"But, but, but....there's no Iraq/Al Qaeda link...."

Some might suggest it is a self fulfilling prophecy. Some might.

Wait a minute, are you telling me that all these "Crocodile Dundees" are going to wuss out because they think the terrorists are going to be mad at them? Were the Aboriginese part of the poll? You think they'll be afraid of these terrorists?

I marvel and laugh at the common allegation that Americans are fat, lazy, soft pigs that think only of their luxuries? Seems we're the only people left in the world that have any balls besides the terrorists.

I've never know the Aussies to be wussies. I'm flabbergasted that the Austrailians have bought this socialistic crap ... (if they have).

yeah I think the reaction here has to do with the Murrican love of denial and self delusion.

Attacking a Mulsim government will irritate the Old Man of the Mountains and his Muslim terrorists? We are suprised by this?

But in the Land of Positive Thinking anyone who sees the reality is somehow assumed to be not fully committed to the program.
