And, no, its not jealousy.

I do understand where hatred comes from. It comes from people like yourself who perpetuate it. You sit in your country and judge my country by the actions of a handful of men & women you neither know or understand. You can criticize any political system you want.
But you have taken it to the deepest level there is..and that is the personal level. The personal level of people who have no stake or involvement in this war. The personal level of people who were against the war but could do NOTHING to stop it. You think it is fine if they get killed right along with the "militarists". I guess for you that's acceptable collateral damage.
But I do NOT take pride in seeing American bombs killing innocents in Iraq. I do not find comfort that our military command will also say it's just collateral damage. And most of all, I DO NOT WISH THE DEATH OF ANY INNOCENT!
Maybe it's time YOU start practicing a bit of what you SEEM to be preaching. Why didn't *YOU* SOMEHOW stop the Aussie troops from going to war in Iraq? Why didn't *YOU* somehow stop your government from backing the war? Why didn't you do something, any fucking thing other than writing inane messages on a message board about how bad the Americans are?
Oh..that's right..you didn't do anything because there was no possible course of action you could affect to change the outcome.
Following your logic though, that won't make any difference to the terrorists and YOU should be subject to death also then!
The difference between you and I? I don't wish that upon your country like you wish it upon mine.
Since you're UP for cliche's "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!"
