Apology accepted, and I, of course, was only joking about you.

Happy New Year.

I think my last entry didn't go through, something went wrong. Anyway, I'm not a 'racist white Ausi' and I don't know about any race riots, that's news to me. I can't remember the last time we had riots of any kind.
I should have said 'Republicans' or 'neo-cons' or something similar, because I know that most Americans are shocked at the antics of Cowboy Bush and his merry band of gunslingers. We down here have a government that is just as reckless and incompetent, so we can sympathise. Sorry :( for lumping you all together with that horrible minority that is leading your nation to destruction. After all, it's not like he was voted into office.

See ya :)

Sure, you are right that no one wants to be under the control of a stronger nation. But that doesn't change the fact that today's global politics are such that America is that stronger nation. I wasn't adding a value judgement, I was just predicting a shift in the world situation.

So, as much as your comment is generally polite, i resent being lumped in with "you americans". I mean, why shouldn't I call you "you racist white Ausi who was probably involved in the race riots"? I mean, I'm not white, and you (the ausi) insulted me, so you must be racist, right? And so on...

'This will be a sad chapter in American history, and may well be the first chapter of the end of our global dominance' - Arun

That's the problem. No single nation should have 'global dominance', and to even suggest that this may be desirable is abhorrent.
Absolutely NO-ONE on Earth wants their nation to be under the control of a stronger one (apart from a few traitorous Quislings who stand to profit from it in some way). Hence, the situation in Iraq today.
When will you Americans ever learn? The world does not need, or even want, your misguided advice on how to successfully run a country. Leave us alone!
