It's a pity that front page news wasn't made of all the children who died in Iraq as a result of drinking their own waste after America blew up sewerage treatment plants during its "Shock & Awe" campaign.

Here's something I found after a quick internet search. I suggest you condust your own rather than question my statements.
The reality on the ground in Iraq is not contested. Thousands of innocent children and adult civilians die every month as a direct result of the 1991 bombing of civilian infrastructure: sewage treatment plants, electrical generating plants, water purification facilities. Allied bombing targets included eight multipurpose dams, repeatedly hit, which simultaneously wrecked flood control, municipal and industrial water storage, irrigation and hydroelectric power. [Four of seven major pumping stations were destroyed, as were 31 municipal water and sewerage facilities. Water purification plants were incapacitated throughout Iraq. We did this for "long term leverage." These military decisions were sanctioned by then Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney.]
In May 1996, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright reaffirmed that the "price" of 500,000 dead Iraqi children was "worth it."
The resulting devastation frequently has been confirmed. A physician study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1992 concluded that the Gulf War and trade sanctions caused a threefold increase in mortality among Iraqi children under 5, estimating 1991 deaths alone at approximately 50,000 children. Those numbers have become a numbing yearly reality. A report released by UNICEF in December 2000 substantiates the dramatic increase in child mortality in the past decade. The same agency reports that 50,000 children continue to die every year. [These people are dying because of bad water, inadequate diets, broken down hospital care, and a collapsed system.]
Article 54 of the Geneva Convention states: "It is prohibited to attack, destroy or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population" and includes foodstuffs, livestock and "drinking water supplies and irrigation works."
Title 18 U.S. Code Section 2331 defines international terrorism as acts dangerous to human life that would violate our criminal laws if done in the United States when those acts are intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion.
We prosecuted Timothy McVeigh for blowing up a civilian "target" to strike at the federal government and were appalled by his description of the resulting deaths as "collateral damage." Yet our own destruction of the means for Iraqis to obtain clean drinking water and medical treatment is described as a legitimate, if painful, way to strike at Saddam Hussein. That he has collaborated in this terrorism does not reduce our responsibility for the bankruptcy of our policies to date.

You have nothing better to do than point out America's faults. Die already.
Why do you choose to spin everything against America?
I personally think it's disgusting that you would support terrorists strapping bombs to their children just to inform people that Iraqi's are too ignorant to distinguish feces from water.
Bottom line: If America pulled out of the Middle East and Iran chose to bomb Australia, you'd be whining that America had pulled out. Or maybe you'd trade the wellbeing of your country to have my country leave.
There is no pleasing you. So STFU.

Furthermore, I have been offered a position at one of our nations' biggest advocacy groups but am considering knocking it back in favour of personally pursuing one that focussed on peace through facilitating engagement between different cultures in Australia and beyond.
I have been targetting America because someone has to.
Originally posted by Sambo69In every last one of those threads you've called for America's withdrawal. Are you really ignorant enough to believe that America is the only reason there are terrorists? They hate Australia too. They hate the free world. They hate every other religion. Have you ever stopped to think that maybe the terrorists are the cause of the problem? No, you'd rather put the blame solely on the shoulders of the US.

Shavixmir targets America, but unlike you, he targets other countries too, which is why I can respect his opinion more than yours.
