"governments 100 years ago needed, they didn't."

Obesity game plan short of a few fields - August 26, 2006 - Michael Duffy "The problems with sport are another example of how the State Government's policy of urban consolidation is diminishing the quality of life of many people in Sydney. The city is predicted to grow by 25 per cent in the next 25 years, and the Government plans to cram 70 per cent of these new residents into existing suburbs. The boosters of urban consolidation have long assured us this will work because existing suburbs have unused infrastructure capacity. This never made much sense: why would the cash-strapped state and local governments of 50 and 100 years ago, which never dreamed of the levels of density now being forced on Sydney, have built 20 per cent more roads and sewers and sports fields than needed? As we are now discovering, they didn't."

"For those who love peace, appeasement can be an appealing concept"

Editorial August 25, 2006
Sixty-eight years after Munich, appeasers are again seeking concord with anti-Semitic fascists who would rule the world
For those who love peace, appeasement can be an appealing concept: give the bad guys what they want, and they'll leave you alone. The only trouble is, as history repeatedly demonstrates, whatever peace it purchases is impermanent at best. Such was the case when Europe offered up Czechoslovakia to Nazi Germany in 1938, hoping to quell Hitler's ambitions. It didn't work then, and it won't work now.

Gerard Henderson
August 22, 2006
"The decision of the Victorian Court of Appeal to release Joseph Terrence (Jack) Thomas, who was found guilty of terrorism charges by a Supreme Court jury last February, highlights an emerging division within democracies. The Thomas case outlines the division between civil libertarian types who focus on legal process and others who take terrorists at their word and regard them as a genuine threat to democratic societies."

"Islam needs to face up to its failures"

Tanveer Ahmed
"The time has come for Western Muslims to take a more aggressive stance, to take control of the institutions and commentary that demean them and accept that Islam is full of failures that require action."

"western civilization much not have any future."

Mark Steyn: None of these pillars of what we used to regard as conventional society is quite as sturdy as it was, and most of them have collapsed.
If it’s difficult to focus on long-term trends because human life is itself short-term, think short-term: Huge changes are happening now. For states in demographic decline with ever more lavish social programs and ever less civilizational confidence, the question is a simple one: Can they get real? Can they grow up before they grow old? If not, then western civilization will go the way of all others that failed to meet a simple test: as Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in 1870, “Nature has made up her mind that what cannot defend itself shall not be defended.”

"Fellow citizens, the war is over."

Victory (15 August 1945)
Fellow citizens, the war is over.
The Japanese Government has accepted the terms of surrender imposed by the Allied Nations and hostilities will now cease. The reply by the Japanese Government to the note sent by Britain, the United States, the USSR and China, has been received and accepted by the Allied Nations.
At this moment let us offer thanks to God.
Let us remember those whose lives were given that we may enjoy this glorious moment and may look forward to a peace which they have won for us.

Prime Minister Ben Chifley announcing the end of the war against Japan, 15 August 1945.

Victory over Japan Day - August 15, 1945

Victory over Japan Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
August 15, 1945, marked Victory over Japan Day or V-J Day, taking a name similar to Victory in Europe Day, which was generally known as V-E Day. In Japan, the day is known as, Shusen-kinenbi, which literally means the "Memorial day for the end of the war".

"Allied world surfeited on gloom, defeat, and despair"

CHAPTER XXXII
The End of Resistance
In the context of global war, the Philippines did not in 1942 possess great strategic significance. The Japanese tide had already swept around the Islands and over southeast Asia and the Indies, through the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomons to Guadalcanal, and eastward across the Pacific as far as the Gilbert Islands. At the beginning of June the Japanese stood ready to move on Port Moresby, Midway, and the Aleutians, and to sever the line of communication between Australia and the United States. Everywhere, they had achieved phenomenal success, sweeping all resistance before them. Only in the Philippines had they been halted, and in this successful, though hopeless, resistance lay the real importance of the campaign. It demonstrated that the Japanese were not invincible, that they could be stopped by determined men, ably led, even when the odds were heavily in their favor. For an Allied world surfeited on gloom, defeat, and despair, the epic of Bataan and Corregidor was a symbol of hope and a beacon of success for the future. It was in this vein that President Roosevelt wrote to General Wainwright on the eve of his surrender:
"In every camp and on every naval vessel, soldiers, sailors, and Marines are inspired by the gallant struggle of their comrades in the Philippines. The workmen in our shipyards and munitions plants redouble their efforts because of your example. You and your devoted followers have become the living symbols of our war aims and the guarantee of victory." 87
87 Quoted in full in Wainwright, General Wainwright's Story, p. 118.

"Left is value free.. no distinction between good and evil..

For leftists, Israel is the aggressor and terrorists are the victims, argues Brian Wimborne
Failure, in addition to class, has become a desired prerequisite for joining the Left's brotherhood of victims. Designated a victim-state by the Left, Israel did not live up to expectations. In the past century the Left gave rise to national socialism and international socialism; today it continues to function without a semblance of moral rectitude, offering support of any group it designates as victims.

"enemies of Israel want Israel destroyed"

The Middle East conflict is hard to solve but easy to explain
By Dennis Prager Tuesday, July 18, 2006
The Middle East conflict is difficult to solve, but it is among the simplest conflicts in history to understand.
The Arab and other Muslim enemies of Israel (for the easily confused, this does not mean every Arab or every Muslim) want Israel destroyed. That is why there is a Middle East conflict. Everything else is commentary.
