To the credit of Australian Leaders, though i am not in total agreement with them. Australia does need the protection offered by America though it comes at a price. An austrlian leader must put the protection and needs of his citizens before all others. Its a tough job and i do not belive the present opposition would have done anything diffrent.
Mike you are right there.
Power and control have always been the dominating factors behind politics and conflicts. And oil is a commodity that dominates the world today, the control of this commodity has long been an US forigh agenda.
But other factors are also there, that other documentaires post 9/11 have touched on, linking the power houses in american politics and the current usual suspects of terrorism. Howeve in the past these usual suspects were freinds against the old USSR and Iran, when those were considered threats.
I recall an Australian Fedral minister was called to account for stating post 9/11 that 9/11 was America's own fault. I belive the minister was from WA and as i recall he was made to appologise. I am not saying what he said is completly true, but I think America's foreigh policy has created many enmies to its intrests in foreigh affairs. Also its CIA guidlines i belive indicate they may only operate outside US soil, so if they are US citizens working for US intrests on foreign soil what does it make them? Fredom fighters, soldiers, terrorsits?? Who judges the CIA and other such agency's?
Notice how everyone is saying "Conspiracy Theory" not Conspiracy... I belve this was the point the doucmentary was trying to make, that we always assoiciate theory not fact to a consipiracy.
Beren you are absolutely right.
There is no justifaction for murder of innocent people under any guise. I belive the term for it is Collateral Damage.. I recall hearing that statement to describe what hapnned to the people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is a cold word, reflecting inhuman atititdudes to life.
