SookandPooty sends in her Indon killers

Ah well, life in Australia may suck at times, but it is one hell of a lot better than living in other parts of the world.

Okay our taxes are outrageous. Just those ripped out of our pay are bad enough, but when you add on the countless little levies, charges and rip-offs by any other name - we get screwed big time.

And we are overgoverned. If it isn't Canberra calling the tune, then its a state government, or a local council telling us what to do, what not to think and then charging us for the privilege.

But, overall, Australia is a pretty good place in which to live, raise kiddiwinks and listen to the cricket.

Certainly it is a hell of a lot better than being stuck under the iron high-heels of Indonesia's President Megawatti SookandPooty who has just unleashed her army upon her own citizens.

Yup, old SookandPooty has sent the army - you know that pack of scumbags that enjoys murdering East Timorese, Australian journalists and anyone else who can't shoot back - to restore control on the freedom-seeking province of Aceh.

Now the rebels of the oil-and-gas rich Aceh have been fighting for freedom for 27 years and until very recently were engaged in talks with Jakarta.

However, those one-sided chats collpased and so SookandPooty sent in the helicopter gunships along with paratroopers and God-only knows how many more armed killers to add to the already 10,000 murdered inhabitants.

And, what will Australia do?

Well, if our record is anything to go by we may give SookandPooty and quick call, say that's a bit naughty, and then sit on our hands for the next 25 years while more innocents die.

Oh well, why change the habits of a lifetime.
