Australia and terrorism....

I am going to have a bit of a rant here. I, presonally, think that Australians, in particular the politicians of this country, think way too highly of themselves on the world stage. Are we a target for terrorism? Oh come on, get real, we don't even rate a blip on the radar of Al Qieda, it's just the powers that be intilling the concept of fear in the public to make sure we vote for them next time. Forgive my cynacism here, but all this talk of us being a terror target is becoming a little bit tiring. Do you really think Osama gives a shit about Australia? Of course not, he probably doesn't even know where we are on a map. When I was living in the UK, the only news I heard about Australia was about the cricket and the rugby, that's about all we're good for as far as world news in concerned. Then there's my whole hornets nest theory; picking a fight with Al Quada or the middle east in general is like poking a hornet's nest with a stick. Just leave them the fuck alone and let them sort their shit out. Look at countries like France, Germany or New Zealand who have stayed away from this whole "War on Terror" bullshit. Do you really think that these countries are terrorism targets? Of course not, why would they be? When I was on holiday in NZ last year I didn't here a single thing about terrorism. If certain middle eastern countries truly wanted change they would've done what the French have done like 10 times or whatever and had a revolution. But quite clearly, they have their standards of living that they're quite happy putting up with, so just leave them alone.
