Malcolm is sticking steadfastly to his "political solution" line and in doing so, is coming across more and more like those who advocated appeasement prior to the outbreak of World War II.
Maybe it'll take an attack on a similar scale to that which occurred in Paris for Turnbull to see the folly of his thinking. He seems to have forgotten the edict given by ISIS since day one - CONVERT OR DIE. They aren't interested in a political solution. Not in the least and the only way to defeat them will be militarily. Tony foresaw this, but was shouted down by the do-gooders for being racist and alarmist. Those same people now have bloodied egg on their faces.
Excellent Editorial, armchair.
You've got your finger on the pulse. You obviously don't take your authority from The Guardian or the ABC National Broadcaster.
Were there any streams of refugees fleeing Syria under the Assad regime?
Answer: No.
Putin is working on militarily defeating those groups which have created this diaspora of refugees from Syria. Police State dictatorships are the only political system that Muslims respect and understand. None of your namby-pamby, touchy-feely liberal democracies for them, thank you very much.
The happiest dogs are those with strict masters. It's the same with horses, as aquascoot will tell you.
And the term 'refugees' has lost all real meaning since they began arriving in the West in great number.
These are obviously not 'refugees' otherwise they would be returning (and be
returned by Western governments) to their homelands when it was safe to do so.
The fraud occurs when these people are initially deemed to be genuine refugees, but then Western governments tear up these verifying documents and re-label them as 'immigrants' not to be shipped back to Middle Eastern countries when it's safe to do so.
Australian troops have been in Afghanistan for 13 years now, and if after all this time
and lives lost it's still not safe for our Afghan refugees to return to their country ... then every last man wearing an Australian uniform over there should be repatriated back to Australia at the earliest opportunity.
13 years of military engagement and it's still not safe for Afghan 'refugees' to be returned to their homeland?
What utter BS.
Australian soldiers have been stomping around Afghanistan now for longer than WWI and WWII combined. It has become a farce and a sick joke.
France was attached, Herbie. It’s a few thousand ks away.
Three days ago, Lebanon.was attached. Prior to that, it was Turkey. No one pretended we needed to become terrorists then.
Australia is in no more danger than it was. The sensible path is to calm things down, not get caught up in hysterical fear mongering.
