..instead, you post ugly Nazi paraphernalia and attempt to paint us with the broad brush of Nazism simply for wanting to avenge the events of 9/11....

Save the spin, Sammy. You're the one who said you wanted to 'nuke Afghanistan.' And at this point, you don't even know whether Bin Laden's there.

You're pathetic.

...I wonder how you would feel if Melbourne or Sydney came under the kind of terrorist act that New York City sustained on 9/11....

For starters, I wouldn't want to 'nuke' a country without first finding out if those responsible were there, as you originally posted.

British contribution to defeating the Japanese: surrendering Singapore to an out of ammunition inferior Japanese force.

Australian contribution: helped British surrender at Singapore, ran around in the jungles of New Guinea, provided coast watchers to the US Navy.

US contribution: everything else, from Guadalcanal to Okinawa to Tokyo Bay.

If it wasn't for the bloody Yanks, your mother would have been a "comfort lady" for the Japanese Imperial Army, and you would be a "half caste" bowing low while serving Saki in a Japanese Imperial Army brothel in Melbourne.

You're very welcome for your freedom, now go ahead and slime the nation that saved your freedom. We can take it, we are well used to being slobbered on and nipped by the American protected puppies in Europe.

...after 9/11, the muslims lost whatever sympathy I might have had. After 9/11, and the reaction of the Muslim world to it, I no longer care...

Awwww.

Let it all out, Sauron.

After 9/11, it's okay to be a racist.

Gee, it's too bad they didn't publish the pictures of the 4,000 South Vietnamese civilians buried alive with their hands tied behind their backs with wire after the North Vietnamese took Hue during Tet.

War is hell, simpleton. If you were to insist that all wars be fought so cleanly and purely that no civilians were ever hurt by your side, you would be speaking Japanese today, carrying towels in your mother's Japanese Imperial Army brothel in Melbourne.

Don't bother to thank the bloody Yanks for saving your freedom. We will work out a deal with the Chinese eventually, and this time we will not come running to protect your daughters from being forced to become "comfort ladies" for the PLA.

For one thing, Commander Zaman would have a good deal to say about where the strikes are directed, so that there is the real possibility that he and his had some role in the errors, if there were any. He would have not only requested but begged for the air support; he needs to master the direction of it.

...if you think war is so bad why did your Country send troops to Viet Nam?...

First up, what 'war'? There hasn't been such a disparity in military capability since the Battle of Omdurman. But the point is, this story was an eyewitness account of civilian casualties, and deserved to be discussed here on that basis. Instead, a bunch of hysterical morons start posting that the story was written by a 'Limey', so it must be a lie; or attacking the paper who published the story; or saying 9/11 means Afghanistan should have been 'nuked.'

Watching wankers like you and your posse certainly explains how the My Lais happen.

Take the chip off your shoulder and stick it where the sun don't shine, bud.

...your attempt to equate Hitler's actions, or motives, or methods, to the USA's procecution of the war in Afganistan: shows me just how little you know or understand about either...

You better read my posts a bit more carefully, Mr. Stomper. I have not and would not make that equation.

However, I'll certainly draw parallels between the mindless jingoism and warmongering hysteria of some who post here and, say, the German public in September 1939. And there's no way I'll sit quietly reading FR while some Freepers are saying 'the VC and the Taliban did it, so that makes it okay.' Can't you see how wrong that is, to become one's enemy?

Start learning Chinese today Byron, you may get a front desk job in one of the PLA brothels.

Natuarally you won't resist when the Chinese come, why would you? Someone innocent might get killed, and as you have so elequently stated, defeat is better than that.

Besides, what would you resist with? Your "RattleTrap Class" submarines? Your handful of antique tanks? Your jets without missiles?

And after the Chinese swarm ashore, will you fight back in a guerrilla war of attrition, at any cost to preserve your freedom?

Oh, I forgot, you were all willingly disarmed.

Like I said, learn Chinese now, so you can get a good front desk job dealing with PLA officers, and not just the job of towel boy for the Chines enlisted troops in the PLA brothel.

One thing for sure: don't ask Uncle Sam to save your goody two shoes pure as the snow butts.....again. We ain't coming. You ain't worth it.

Learn Chinese....mate. You'll make fine slaves, if you make it worthwhile for your new masters to keep you alive.

But Mum and Dad taught me two wrongs don't make a right.

But three do.

Let's see. It's 2:30AM on Saturday night, over there.

How about putting the cap back on the bottle and calling it a night? Because this stuff about my mother being a comfort woman is showing an ugliness in your soul that won't look too good by the harsh light of day. And, since you raised the issue, we have an excellent relationship with the People's Republic of China. You're the guys they're challenging.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but it damn sure makes it even.

..are we out of line to hope for a little slack? At least from our friends?...

Of course not. And if there's any Australian more supportive of and more friendly toward the United States than me, I've never heard of him.

But now let me ask you something. When is someone going to say 'enough!', to the hate driven macho that is starting to smother this website? Have you considered that, for any Mohammed Attas-to-be, visiting FR would now be a great way of revitalising their motivation?
