I Agree with the rest of your post SilverGhost, but the problem lies here in. At the moment Australia has committed its people to kill and die for an american crusade. The goverment through the media are pumping the bullshit to the people. And at the core of this, we have people who are to foolish to discern. Its one thing to fight to the last man, but in this case - Australia has her hands dipped in innocent blood.
Lest we forget the 15,000 in which we have had a hand in killing.
Patriotism serves as a cover for one-sided class warfare. Novelist Samuel Johnson hit the nail on the head when he wrote, "Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels."

5. everyone understands the 'ideal' concept of freedom, and this long winded response was in no means an attempt to say that we all practice it or uphold it, but i think more creedence is owed fighting men and women who died for what they believe. Also it shows the world community that Australia, although young, wont back away from a fight, and we fight to the last man.
Lest We Forget.
