[BAWUG] Stop what War ... Wirelessly!?

[joe howarth]

Evilbunny,

Australian troops are right in there with the US in Afghanistan, and John Howard has pledged SAS troops if/when Iraq ever happens.  So, looks like you dont speak for the rest of Australia.

Your country is as dependent on foreign oil, if not more so, than the US.  Same with Canada, and Europe...    sorry, that is reality.      Bitch and moan all you want about the "big-bad-evil USA", but know that we will still be here to protect you.   You've obviously grown up in an era where you didnt have to fight for any of the freedoms you now have.    if you dont agree, move to Syria or Jordan or Iran...

Back to the topic regarding wireless:

- How will these proposed wireless messages at peace rallies make any difference at all?   Do Emails make a shred of difference to an elected official?   Seems like just something more for the Trustafarians to do while hanging out for the Protest of the Week in Dolores Park...

-  Will you people also set up your wireless networks at Veteran's Day and Memorial Day Parades?  For people to send messages about how they support those who give there lives to protect the freedoms we have?

- Does your organization recognize Veterans Day? 

also,  Make sure you watch how Feinstein, Pelosi, and Boxer vote on this whole thing.  Maybe we can rename it to the "Boxer Oil War" ...?

Hello Michael,

For what it's worth Australia is a hell of a lot closer and no one
gives a crap about sadam, and it's the US fault he's in power and has
lots of weapons in any case...

And yet again it's about money... vietnam was about rubber for tyres,
bosnia was about running pipelines to get round the current ones
through russia... and the pipeline through afgan is an extension...

Hell the US was still trading ford cars with germany up until it
entered the war...

Yes, I don't see a pattern here at all, actually most of the dictators
the US has tried to get rid of are their own doing...

Your mess you clean it up...

/2 cents...
