As the Australian death toll in Afghanistan climbs, do you think it's time to bring Australian troops home?

Is it time to pull out of Afghanistan? LOL. Why ask me, an average citizen of Australia? Ask the Nazis of the 21st century, the ones you've been following blindly in all of their wars against "troubled countries" (Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Afganistan, Iraq...)

@Someone said Israel ? i only know isra hell .

That s more than 70% of world believes. every Millimeter of Israel is made unjustifiably on Palestinians land and Blood. If defending Palestine is terrorism , Then put me into that list now. Palestinian land must be returned to Palestinians and God did not chose self proclaimers.

My dearest Abdul, some reality pit?

You assertion that prior to 9/11 Muslims were not classified as terrorists is bollocks. Sorry, no other way of putting it. The endless grief because of the entire Middle East they were not given a tiny slice (Israel), the deeds of Munich etc. Along with the IRA and a few other extremist factions a chunk of the worlds terrorist were of that religious persuasion. The US and other Western nations have done some crap stuff but let's keep things in the realms of reality huh?

There is a crusade going on against Islam, focusing Middle Eastern People ( Muslim and some Christians) so what would happen? If Jesus showed up today he'd be detained at the airport for being Middle Eastern; arrested in Florida for feeding the homeless; pepper-sprayed and beaten by cops in New York for speaking out against greed, and executed in Texas.

@pete - from perth, The religious extremist

Abdul - from Sydney, 7 months ago

Targeting most Muslims as terrorists, whenever and whatever the political needs may be , telling them their religion and killing them is an strategy of the west to control 1.6 billion Muslims world wide. Before 911 all these billions of Muslim were not classified as terrorist and why did the need came up & on what basis non Muslims gave themselves the right to interfere in Islam and followers. I think the suppression is unjust and is done by the biggest terrorist of all the USA.

The religious extremist

pete - from perth, 7 months ago

There are some people in this world that we just have to fight or they will be chopping our heads off, The Islamic religious extremist is one of them.

"hoestly"

I cannot understand you lot !, Prime Minister Gillard was just there and says everything is going just fine, would a Prime Minister lie ?

Hell NO !

The show is only just getting started.

When Australia has a history of war crime participation then why it needs membership on UN security council

Mohammed - from Sydney, Inner West, 8 months ago

UN security council itself is not a credible entity by the peoples of this planet. It is engineered and maintained to serve US Israeli interests only and nothing more. Why Australia can first be a democracy before we totally loose control to USA.

Send jarhead to Pakistan or Afghanistan & Bring our troops back from Unjust Wars.

Bob - from Sydney, 8 months ago

When Australia is going to have a democracy and self conscious?
