No they wouldn't. But would we be dealing with the issue of terrorism if American didn't first initiate the war? I don't think so. I don't think America is this 'evil' country that sends men off to war completely ignoring the fact that men will d...

Wow...have been called from MSN to be on the frontline of this thread war that seems to be emerging from another episode of Raging-Tash-Online. (In good humour of course) But this is very much one of those socio-political issues that is more guid...

*wince* discursive backgrounds. Hm, yes, I do concur with that point there Tash. But would Australians have died in Iraq if the Americans didn't go there in the first place?

Natasha Stevenson replied to John Christopher Collins's discussion 'Has the alliance between USA and Aus and NZ been benificial to Australians and New Zealanders?'

I think that in a way they are our wars. Back to Iraq for a second... Terror is a world issue, so it's something that we should stand against. We shouldn't be concerned about who initiated the war. Back to my main point... We are all human, theref...

Mmmmm, quite like Autralians around AFL season... "I have noticed we have been forced to fight more wars with America since our alliance with them from WWII. We have been forced to fight their wars they started and we get dragged in, Vietnam, Kor...

David Hilton replied to Daniel Eisenmenger's discussion 'Fall of the Berlin Wall Nov 9, 1989'

An excellent point, Daniel. I think that as history teachers and historians our role is to always challenge the popular perceptions of what is historical and make people aware of the dangers of believing in illusory versions of history. My favouri...

Daniel Eisenmenger replied to Daniel Eisenmenger's discussion 'Fall of the Berlin Wall Nov 9, 1989'

I think it is very interesting to see how this very symbolic event has swept away the more structural and more silent events who led to the communist breakdown. Like e.g. the outside Poland absolutely underestimated importance of the solidarnosc m...

Erik Underwood replied to Daniel Eisenmenger's discussion 'Fall of the Berlin Wall Nov 9, 1989'

It shapes Russian politics because most Russians who make up the Russian government have lived through the fall of the USSR and its aftermath. This makes them acutely aware of the possibility of the collapse of Russian power, and suspicous of West...

Yeah ok.... I tend to get a bit off topic.... Well I don't think Australia has been dragged into these wars. I could be wrong but I made the point that it's a world issue so the world should do something about it. I actually don't really know much...

It's so hard to believe sometimes that the quiet girl up the front in Ancient is the same person who posts on this thing, Tash. Amazing. It seems to me that the basic point that John (Hi John) is making is that since the end of World War II Austra...

Natasha Stevenson replied to John Christopher Collins's discussion 'Has the alliance between USA and Aus and NZ been benificial to Australians and New Zealanders?'

Wow ok, just be careful how you word this. I don't think we "have been forced to fight" in “their” (American) wars. Now I don't know much about this so I probs shouldn't speak but I think it's selfish for Australia to only concern themselves in po...

I have noticed we have been forced to fight more wars with America since our alliance with them from WWII. We have been forced to fight their wars they started and we get dragged in, Vietnam, Korean, Iraq. Why should we fight their wars
