Pre-emptive attacks on terror a good thing.

Oh boy are we in trouble with our neighbours in Asia!

The words that our beloved PM used in telling people that we would protect ourselves by pre-emptive attacks on terrorists in the region seem to have touched a rather raw nerve.

Big wigs from across Asia have beaten a path to our door condemning such an appalling attitude by Australia.

Our Foreign Monster Downer has been hosing down ambassadors right, left and centre. It is alleged he's even had to call in those super-expensive fire-bombing choppers to cool the buggas down.

Anyway, while this proclamation by our PM is viewed with worry overseas, it should be supported here. It is about time Australia once again stood up for itself and if stopping terrorism reaching these golden shores needs surgical strikes against terrorist camps in other nations then so be it.

If someone is going to hit you, don't you try to headbutt them first?

If our neighbours are going to be soft-appendaged about wiping out terrorists - or are too incompetent or corrupt to do so - sod them.

We will protect ourselves and they had better not get in the way of us doing so.
