    Big question isn't it?

    The most barbaric nation (list shown below) is the USA toward other countries, millions upon millions of people around the world butchered by the USA since the end of WW2, if we Australians decided to agree to sanctions on the USA to stop them from committing any more carnage around the world would they see us as their enemy and eventually bomb us? ----

    The list does not include CIA created terrorism, which it should!

    You could start by not also your sending troops into such wars. You do realize that Australian troops fought Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq. Those are just off the top of my head. Is it only reprehensible if you do they bombing?

    I can`t understand why anyone would bother to bomb an Islamic country, seems like a waste of energy, considering the enthusiasm with which they vigerously bomb themselves.

    I've highlighted the ones that Australia was either involved in or we have been to war with before, included both wars and peacekeeping operations, as you have. Highlighted both the name and the year if I know we were involved in the same one as the US.

    You omitted the four nukes dropped on Spain in 1966.

    Wow I never realised that Oz stuck their noses into so many countries, I also note that all those countries conflicts that we got involved in were no threat to us. Geesus we really are an American colony!

    That is what Allies do. I subscribe to one of the Founders notions that we should be Allies to none but trade with all. Once you are Allied with another nation, you pick up their enemies at the same time.

    Brilliant point. Demonstrates exactly why Australians became terrorist targets for the first time in history per the Bali bombing. War with Iraq & Afghanistan

    What about all the other notions? No full time professional military.

    Of course the founders were also fond of paying tribute to terrorists.

    Well Mario, if you do not fight back your going to have a bigger problem then just lamenting to your internet about having used weapons in history.

    War means money and cannibalism could be a real issue in the circumstances. But worse still, would they come to our rescue if invaded by another powerful force? We are easy beats but for our allies. Indonesia would hammer us!

    Very good point t.v. What if who attacked us was more of a useful idiot to them than we are? Oh and another point, if China wanted to attack us and keep the USA out all they have to do is recall the US's debt and instant bankrupt for the usa, so they couldn't afford to come to our rescue anyway!

    If China wanted to attack us they'd need a better military for starters and if the US went to war with China I don't think they'd agree to pay China back.

    Better military than ours? Just the sheer man power alone they have would over run us in a few minutes, oh and if the US would not pay them back who the hell will ever do business with them again, seems like a catch 22 if this scenario ever played out (hopefully never)

    Maybe the USA will trade their colony Australia to the Chinese for the debt owed to them.
