Mercy for murderers

Every family member of a 'victim' must feel this way. So when you think of the innocent victims in Bali then also think of the innocent victims in Iraq and Afghanistan the very reason for Bali.
So let's take a good look at the dead!
AUSTRALIA: THESE are the faces of the injured children in the illegal and degrading war on Iraq and Afghanistan - faces that the Australian government chose to forget.
So who masterminded the Bali Bombings? Someone who wanted to go to an illegal and degrading war on the sovereign nations of Iraq and Afghanistan and who also needed support for their illegal and degrading war!
The reductions for the peasant criminals and fall guy's in Indonesia - a "gift" from the Indonesian Government to celebrate Independence Day - may have left the families of the 88 Australians murdered in Bali sickened and disgusted but the fact that someone put them up to it should leave them even more disgusted, especially if their own government had conspired to allow it to happen.
Danny Hanley, whose daughters Renae Anderson and Simone Hanley who died with friend Francoise Dahan in the Sari Club inferno may not need to know the real truth about who was behind the bombers because regardless of who was really guilty they've suffered a great loss.
Furthermore we must comfort them at this time.
But every family member of a 'victim' must feel this way. So when you think of the innocent victims in Bali then also think of the innocent victims in Iraq and Afghanistan the very reason for Bali.
Not holding these war criminals accountable for their war crimes against humanity is spitting in the face of ever victim.
Not finding out who was behind the Bali bombings is also spitting in the face of ever victim. The hoWARd government can be so insensitive because it may be one of the perpetrators, complicit in the fear campaign and that would be a greater insult to all Australians.
We can't believe that Iraq, Afghanistan and Bali won't go away or incidents like them until we take hoWARd and his cronies to the Hague to face up to their war crimes against humanity and until further investigations into who was behind the Bali bombers takes place so we can't be sure who was behind it. We know who had the motive!
Australian taxpayers spent their taxes to wage war against the innocent and kill over 100, 000 innocent men, women and children in Iraq and Afghanistan, and pre-emptively, 88 more in Bali to strike up a reaction, how can they be so insensitive?
We're fuming, we don't sleep at night this is injustice. It degrades the memory of all the dead, it just brings back more hurt. We will never get over it, people have lost everything.
We are the many family's that have been left to grieve all the time over and over again as someone behind the 20 men responsible for the murders in Bali have never been investigated to find out which government was behind the bombing.
The first of the bombers could be released as early as today after jail sentences were cut by up to seven months and the militia behind them will never be taken to trial unless someone investigates who was giving them material and the instructions.
Abu Bakar Bashir a preacher and teacher who was framed by Indonesia as a favour for the US, UK and Australian governments (the fall guy) and alleged ringleader also had 4.5 months slashed from his jail term and could be released by next May. God love him.
Laughing criminal Amrozi, who is on death row, was excluded from the handout.
Renae Anderson, 30, and Francoise Dahan, 30, were in the doorway of the Sari Club and died instantly when a bomb exploded.
Renae's sister Simone Hanley, 28, survived and was one of the first victims flown back to Australia. But the Caringbah woman died in hospital.
"Anyone who had anything to do with this bombing should not have their sentences reduced," Mr Hanley said.
And anyone behind the Bali bombers should be investigated.
Simon Quayle, a Perth football coach injured in the bombing and who lost seven players in the Sari Club, said: "This is a complete bloody disgrace. It's the most pathetic reason I've heard.
As well as the fact that investigators failed to find out which government was responsible for setting up the explosion timed to get support for the illegal and degrading war on Iraq.
The Coogee Dolphins football club, which lost six players, said the sentence reductions "belittled" the victims' lives.
And the community are outraged that no proper investigation has been undertaken to find out who was behind the bombing really, and that those war criminals won't even take the stand to justify their behaviour?
Adelaide magistrate Brian Deegan, who lost son Joshua, said: "We've already received a life sentence. This is just outrageous. It's an absolute disgrace."
Jodie Wallace, from Sutherland, died alongside friend Charmaine Whitton in the Sari Club. Her brother Chris said yesterday the move was a "sick joke".
"I am disgusted and dumbfounded," he said.
And an even sicker joke if hoWARd and his cronies conspired to let it happen to get support for their illegal and degrading war crimes against humanity.
Karen Cook, whose sister Michelle Dunlop died, said:
"It's not fair, the whole [Indonesian] judicial system has let us down."
As has the whole [United Nations] judicial system has let us down.
Do you think this is fair? Have Your Say comment below to let us know.

9-ll, Bali, Spain, Australia's Embassy in Jakarta, London and Egypt all have similarities and follow the same pattern, in that without them it would have been impossible to get the support from the west necessary to pre-emptively and illegally strike a sovereign nation state and whoever is behind these bombings wanted to go into an illegal and degrading war and not preach and teach peasants in Indonesia.

The REAL Iraq War (Warning: Explicit images of Violence)
Discussion of the 'anti-war' position is just so abstract, don't you think. I think it would help if instead of engaging in philosophical discussions about war, the taxpayer would actually be a party to war, just as they expect their kids to do. So let's take a good look.
