Herald Sun: Sudan government on alert [28jul04]
And the fact that Us oil companies have spent over $40 billion dollars on infrastructure has nothing to do with the push by the US to intervene. Although why have the companies walked away when Sudan has so many oil reserves.
However all oil sarcasm aside, this has been a devastating humanitarian crisis for a long time, and the UN need to get involved sooner rather than later, all opposition from Egypt and Sudan aside.
Herald Sun: No backdown on Downer comments [28jul04]
What the #@%#$%? Where does our Foreign Affairs minister get off passing comment on other governments policies? And the notion that withdrawing troops encourages terrorism.. does this possibly mean that sending troops discourages terrorism? It certainly seems to have reduced the threat of terrorism.
FFS all they have done is created yet another generation of fanatical defendants of their “terrorist” cause. How the hell can acts of war within Iraq by people opposed to the occupation be terrorism? The same acts during WW2 by French resistance etc. were freedom fighters, same thing here depending on which side of the war you are on.
Kee-rist.
