Because you only worry about yours.
Australians died in the Bali bombs because of anti-Western sentiment driven by America.
We don't only worry about our country. Australians travelled to help fight America's devastating bush fires.
So you came and helped us put out fires? That doesn't give you the right to try and impeach our President. Only way a native australian is gonna have a say in our government is if Australia invades the US and wins(haha).

STANG what do you think truly motivates terrorists? They're evil cowardly people. They don't want stability and they don't want peace, this would lessen their power. They want chaos and anarchy for THEIR OWN ENDS! Not for some noble cause. Evil power/war mongers are using fanatics, the weak, and the stupid to further their own agendas in a war of chaos. You don't see Osma matyring himself do you. I'm tired of your self righteous BS, put your efforts to some productive use. While I respect your passion and committment your posts are like cluster bombs of idiocy. You drive people away from your cause rather than bring them to it.
It is irrelevant that Australia came to the US's aid to put fires out (note: Canadians and others helped as well). The US and other western countries sends millions of $ of aid worldwide to bolster struggling economies, feed the hungry, treat the sick and sponsor education. Not all countries receive the same attention and much of it is wasted. This is unfortunate, but often the fault of the countries being given the aid and not the US. Some countries suffer in silence by accident or cause.
Why don't you join Amnesty International and put your efforts into a worthy cause. Help people rather than harass.

OK. So let's not only worry about each other's countries. I invite you to sign the on-line petition to impeach George Bush.
Doh! Scrolled down and it looks like you did just that!

Originally posted by STANGWrong, Stan. The more someone owns, the more that someone wants stability. The wealthy run the risk of losing wealth in times of chaos. If you have something then you maintain the status quo to protect it. If you have nothing then you foment chaos in hopes of emerging with something. Possibly the fanatics are using you to foment chaos and further their own agenda.

Yep, them dead terrorists are breeding like bunnies.
Originally posted by STANGEven the most liberal reporters say that the terrorist in Iraq are imports. And polls (which you are so fond of) have shown that most Iraqis are glad the US removed Saddam Insane. A minority are mad because they are out of power.

Originally posted by STANGYou send me the names of terrorists living within 50 miles of Toledo, Ohio and I'll happily write about them. But seriously, Stan, that sounds like a good project for you. (And I am being serious, not sarcastic.) I don't have any problem with your forum posts and rather enjoy our exchanges, but I just don't think you can accomplish much on the forums. There's really only a handful of people who regularly read and respond in the forums. You could accomplish much more with book and lecture tours. In fact, and I'm still being serious, I guess I don't understand why, since you feel so strongly about the Iraq situation, you are not in Iraq helping out those people. I assume there are international aid organizations you could join if you didn't want to go on your own.
