Kawa,
I was raised in an environment where I loved my country and the way of life so much that I gladly joined the military and was prepared to lay my life on the line if needed for over 20 years and I still would.
Unfortunately Australia isn't the isolated island it used to be where if we got involved in a war, we had to travel out of our region to get to it.
Terror is not a battlefield anymore, it is going to be your local school, church, train station or workplace.
Even though I have been raised in a Christian society with all the trappings of it, christening, confirmation, baptism, marriage etc. I am now an athiest and believe that it is religious brainwashing that is the crime we have to deal with.
I agree with the Western society view of free speech and the right to publish charicatures of anybody. Unfortunately, the religious bigots who do not agree have also been brainwashed to lay down their lives to make a point and take as many infadels as they can with them.
If I want to read about the war on terror, I buy a newspaper or watch TV but I generally switch off and chanel surf to find something more interesting.
That's why I browse the Hayabusa Club discussions.
TO GET AWAY FROM THE OTHER CRAP.
