It's not about the net wealth but about the image he resonates. There are many insurmountable problems with that image, but they are basically caused by the fact that he's achieved too much in his life. Of course it sounds illogical, but people do not reason logically when it comes to forming impressions.withoutaface said:His background? You do realise we just elected the second richest man in parliament prime minister, right?
Well I don't believe in the eye for an eye thing myself, but he raises a valid point. The man should still be held accountable for murder while in office.Schroedinger said:Awesome man meet you on the Grassy Knoll. You're doing one for the greater good.
Miscommunication of government directive? He made a conscious decision to invade a country. That's killing, it ought to be punishable by law.Schroedinger said:Unless you want to go and retroactively assassinate every prime minister because people have died under the watch of every single one through some form of miscommunication of governmental directive, then don't post retarded bullshit.
Did they invade the country at first? Did they do so for a valid reason?morganforrest said:Do we then do the same for Churchill, JFK etc....other leaders whose decision to go to war also directly cost lives??
I believe the Bay of Pigs and the bombing of Dresden would both fit the bill.Nebuchanezzar said:Miscommunication of government directive? He made a conscious decision to invade a country. That's killing, it ought to be punishable by law.

Was the bombing of Dresden in response to a direct threat from Hitler? Like...he was actually invading other countries and visibly massing weapons of...attack. If that's the case with Kennedy then I offer no defense for him either.withoutaface said:I believe the Bay of Pigs and the bombing of Dresden would both fit the bill.
Re-writing History, Iron? If my memory serves, the ALP supported the war (with reservations) and none more so than Kevin Rudd.Iron said:That's a pretty unfair comment considering that Labor opposed the war based on the insufficient case and public sentiment
Wow. Now there's a statement drenched in factual evidence!Enteebee said:Whatever, if Rudd was PM at the time we would have gone to war,
Which I did. I voted Greens. Nyah.the whole issue is for all practical purposes moot unless you truly supported the election of an anti-war candidate.
From wiki...Schroedinger said:Moderator and Revisionist I see. I'm fairly certain Rudd when he was Foreign Minister was for the War.
It appears the internet has been whitewashed and all of Rudd's stances are on the war retrospectively from what I can garner.
wikipedia re Rudd as Foreign affairs spokesman said:In this role, he strongly criticised the Howard government over its support for the United States in the 2003 invasion of Iraq and subsequent operations there, while maintaining Labor's position of support for the Australian-American alliance.
"Well, what Secretary Powell and the US seems to have said is that he now has grave doubts about the accuracy of the case he put to the United Nations about the claim that Iraq possessed biological weapons laboratories - the so-called mobile trailers. And here in Australia, that formed also part of the government's argument on the war. I think what it does is it adds to the fabric of how the Australian people were misled about the reasons for going to war."[14]
