Christ man, if you're going to invoke Fisk as least invoke the latest one, the most recent column, because it's on topic for the thread.

Australians were the principal victims and their murderers must have known they would be. So why were they targeted? John Howard has been among President Bush's toughest supporters. Australia lined up to join the "war on terror" within 24 hours of the attacks on New York and Washington last year. Australian special forces have been operating with American troops in the Afghan mountains against al-Qa'ida. It's a fair bet that yesterday's savagery was al-Qa'ida hitting back.

Understand? You Aussies never should have participated in Afghanistan. You've only pissed them off and now they're coming for you, as well as for the French, the Brits, and any other people in any other piddling little country that had the nerve to go help collapse the Taliban. Appeasement was the correct response, but now your nation is on the Irate Islamist Master List of Peoples With Whom We Have Legitimate Grievances, and you must simply sit back and try to enjoy the punishment that's coming to you.
