shift in thinking required perhaps?
It's interesting when you talk seriously to ordinary Australians, that they recognise the medling in world (read other peoples business) by certain super powers, will result in extremist activities in reprisal. As an alliance country WE have danced to the Iron Eagle's tune now for some time and are unfortunately complicit in many yet to be prosecuted 'illegal' activities. Oil, and money my friends. As soon as I saw the idiot media trot out an 'expert' I thought, "oh yea, sais him", and it wasn't long before I heard the self fullfilling prophet and his doctrine of tripe all in the name of empire building.
How long before some nut points a PA31 loaded with NItropil and desiel, launched from a dirt strip (no screening there my friend) at a fully loaded B747 at the holding point. What will be the response then, perhpaps Surface to Air missiles at every airport????
Give me a break
If I see one more Minister, or one more 'expert' tell me about 'airport safety' I think I will go and drive bloody trains
