The latest figures indicate that fewer than half of those killed in the bombings or who died later of injuries were Australians. The death toll of all nationalities is at least 185.
Thank god the numbers are coming down, but this backs my original stance that many Australian's are overlooking the loss of other nationalities...
Phil Burchett, the father of one of the missing, Jared Gane, revealed that Mr Howard had hugged him and said:
"We'll get the bastards who did this."
From the SMH.
That's real fucking smart Johnny.
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" - The Dalai Lama
Now when you consider that the Dalai Lama is the leader of some of the worlds most brutalised, oppressed and terrorised people in the world. This makes a lot more sense.
Our governments are acting like children, with the ethics of such.
I find it hard to give credibility to Australians as a people, when they are prepared to say that America is overreacting about the S-11 attacks, and yet you all turn around and scream for revenge when it happens to us. What the fuck were you expecting with us holding so firmly onto the US's coattails. Remeber that each of those people might not have died if you'd got off your fucking asses and voted Democrat or Labour or Green instead of Liberal.
The death toll has come down, as I said it would, but the people are always going to remember the shock of the 250 missing presumed dead. And it doesn't matter how many people ARE dead, its that number that's going to stick. We've got our own little WTC style test here, and I think as a nation, we've failed, scoring VERY highly in the areas of bigotry, prejudice and hypocrisy.
-plaz out-
btw ThoTh,
c4 can be made relitivly easy from common household items such as bleech. im assuming they have this know-how and avalibility of info.
True True, *cough*jollyrogerscookbook*cough*
However, chemical residues left behind on blast objects could quickly differentiate between C4 made in somebodies bathtub, and something a little more proffesional.

Sorry, Plaz... But the orginator of that one was Mahatma Ghandi, not His Holiness![]()

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" - The Dalai Lama
Who says anything about an eye for an eye? He said (according to your quote), "We'll get the bastards who did this." That could mean anything but anyone with half a brain would suggest he meant: "We'll bring these lowlives to justice" - and rightly so.
If you're so ashamed to be an Australian fuck off.
Nothing you have said, Plazma, is constructive, it is all destructive.
My friend the other day picked up a mans wallet after he had droped it and kindly returned it to him. The man thanked my friend and in return gave her some advice. He said in a very thick Afgahni voice; 'you are a very kind girl and thankyou for returning my wallet, i give you warning for your life. Please don't go to the melbourne cup."
