Re: OT : Australian intervention in Solomon Islands
Australians shouldn't cringe from the duty of helping others who can't or won't help themselves. It is the duty of civilized nations to intervene. I know that sounds like I think Australians should be acting like the regions policeman but so what. The region needs a policeman. Think of it this way, Would you rather let that country go to hell? Would you trust the Islamic thugs of the Indonesian Army to intervene and set things straight. Would you trust some pretty Blue Helmets of the U.N. to restore order. I would trust the Australians. Back in the good ol' days this probably would have been called "white mans burden" which isn't exactly very nice, but hey sometimes it is the duty of others to intervene and sometimes that means smacking around a little country. Did Australia get rid of that aircraft carrier yet? I know they got some pretty cool catamaran commando ships!
That dingo's got my baby...back ribs!
