Well I had to draw the line somewhere

David Hicks Pleads Guilty!!

In the case of david hicks I am not one of the vocal minority. I’m a great believer of you make your bed, you lay in it.

However the only place he should face any type of trial should be in Afganistan. If it is found he commited crimes against the Afgan people then he so be it, he should then face Afgan justice.

As for the US they have to make unpopular decisions for the common good. We tend to look at the present and not the past. Afganistan was a terrorist state ruled by people who wanted only one thing, the rest of the world to live as they do. Thanks to the USA the people of Afganistan now have a future, a quasi democratic society and most important basic human rights something we all take for granted.

As an Australian. We have a difficult choices to make as a country. We follow the US blindly as we used to follow the Brittish. Do we really have a choice?
