Far-Leftist sympathy for terrorists being preached to future Australian army officers
We read:
"A retired Australian general has dismissed as "unmitigated rubbish" a defence force course which teaches soldiers that terrorists are "victims". A Bali bombing victim has also expressed dismay at the Australian Defence Force Academy's terror studies degree. Maj-Gen Jim Molan, who in 2004 was Chief of Operations of Coalition forces in Iraq, has hit out at the lecturers who run the security and terror course.
Prof Anthony Burke, senior lecturer at the University of NSW where ADFA classes are held, in his book Beyond Security, Ethics and Violence, said students should try to understand terrorists rather than fight them. "In the wake of 9/11, our critical task is not to help power seek out and destroy the 'enemies of freedom' but to question how they were constructed AS enemies of freedom . . . It is to wonder if we, the free, might already be enemies of freedom in the very process of imagining and defending it," he wrote. In another book, Fear of Security, Australia's Invasion Anxiety, Prof Burke said we should "abandon selfish visions of security, sovereignty and national interest".
The Department of Defence said it encouraged "robust debate among ADF personnel at all levels".

I wonder if "robust debate" about the level of African immigration into Australia would also be permitted? I suspect that debate on that topic would be too robust altogether!
There's always free speech for ideas that Leftists like. For other ideas not so much. And some things may not be mentioned at all (particularly things to do with Africans). I would like it if there really were robust debate about everything but I am not holding my breath.

All these intellectuial know nothings do he hold up real means to stop terrorists their acuialy very very ignorant like atheist evolution dim-bulb like RICHARD DAWKINS
Apparently, Prof. Burke is a student of the Nevelle Chamberlan (sp) school of diplomacy. What he and other like-minded Leftist dolts don't realize, is that when the blood-thirsty Muslims take over, as they're already doing in the EU, he and his fellow Left-wing dreamers will be the first one's to lose their heads!
Now for the rest of us, that's something really worth waiting for!
Prof Anthony Burke
Sounds like he's of Irish descent.
So, being a Left-wing Liberal is part of his genetic make up.
"It is to wonder if we, the free, might already be enemies of freedom in the very process of imagining and defending it"
With his support for terrorism, the author of that is indeed an enemy of freedom.
And because he lives in a free society he's a free man who is an enemy of freedom.
I'm all for discussion with terrorists, discussion in the same sense that terrorists discuss things with us, blood and dagger style.
Shoot them in the gut, THEN talk to them while you wait for them to bleed out.
I guess we'll soon be adding Ozz to the list of state supporting terrorism if its armed forces are being trained to help them.
