reject colonialism

our foreign minister is prancing round the middle east, spruiking the benefits of australian colonialism. listen to us. follow our example, she says. you will be so much better off.
this is in a part of the world where barbarians exist with the sole aim of slaughtering their traditional enemies. and any new atrocity brings out fresh shouts that mine is bigger than yours and new threats to keep on killing till all opposition is exterminated.
this is their culture. perhaps this is what they enjoy? certainly neither side... none of the sides... shows any signs of wanting to implement australian standards of civilised behaviour.
their barbarian cultures support eternal warfare. if it overflows, Australia has the right to defend itself. other than that, the people of the middle east have the right to live, and to die,  in whatever way their culture requires.
many Australians have rejected British colonialism. we have damned its effects on indigenous cultures. we have no right to now claim that australian colonialism is any better.
