    Has anyone seen this for sale in this country? It might help me on my essay on counter-terrorism strategies.

    I saw a condensed publ;ication at dymocks but it wasnt the original (and was far more expensive).

    Is it just me, or is this Amazon page just BEGGING for some whining fanboy reviews? You know, something along the lines of "this book is really diseppointing i was expecteng more conspirecys and action and but this authors boring havent read it yet tho ill borrwo it off a friend 2morrow but is really goodk xx ^_^" There's nothing more satisfying than 38 Amazon users rating your review as "not useful" to know you're really making a difference.

    counter-terrorism strategy number 1.

    To prevent Terrorists from robbing our citizens of their freedom (because they hate freedom so much, not because of anything we've done) the solution is simple, take it from them before those stinking terrorists get a chance!

    Also if you don't want anyone to burgle your house just throw all your valuables into the street.

    Not that I want to start another argument, because we all know how constructive and useful they are, but:

    a) they don't want to take our freedom, they want to kill us
    b) they hate us because we drink and don't kill homosexuals (among other things)

    Ignore it if you like.

    They want to kill us cos we keep mucking around in their affairs.

    Before, they were just happy to kill each other.

    Oh we do not kahli.
    They just looked at us with a big telescope across the sea, saw all the gay sex and drinking (sometimes both at the same time) and then decided to kill us all.

    So what have you done, kahli, to deserve death at the hand of an Islamic terrorist?

    So they'll kill us because of what our governments do?

    Just as well we don't kill any of their civilians.

    Not enough to keep 'all the way J W Howard' from signing me up for a death threat, that's what.

    Australia is such a pissant little country on the world stage that for the months after we went to war - us the yanks and the poms - those people didn't even realise we were there. To them, the main offenders were the yanks, the poms, and the spanish - were there any spanish troops in the war? no!

    But now all of a sudden we're the subject of terrorist threats! Who do you think is responsible for bringing us to their attention?

    The indonesians I can understand, they've never been completely happy with us. But these other groups? It's all cos of 'pick me! pick me!' howard.

    Is our crappy free trade agreement with the US really worth the damage to our national security?

    News flash: They've been killing and trying to kill us long before we were 'mucking around in their affairs'.

    I'm not justifying the actions of a terrorist group, I'm simply pointing out that America is not blameless and that there is villians on both sides of the fence.
