Photoshopped.

The bullet holes tell a better story anyway.

Then nobody would even know it was happening.
The posturing and grandstanding are all part of the game.
A resort on an Island would be a logical choice and relatively easy to secure.
The sydney lockdown and wall are really more for attracting attention to their self importance and to further enhance the current national security (fear campaign) that has become a major part of this Govt. pre-election manouvering.
I guess the real question is whether these exorbitantly expensive talk fests actually achieve anything.

Why does Harro's opinion sound very reasonable?

While we are on that subject do you like the comment that if you believe the Gulf war was not about oil, do you really think the US would have invaded Iraq if it held 10% of the world's broccoli?

Umm, not to stir the pot too much, but didn't the UK send their troops into Iraq at the same time as the rest of us?

There would not be the need for the fence or half the security if the protesters weren't such idiots. Resistance, Socialist Alliance with nothing better in their heads than a desire to smash the windows of McDonalds plus a few menopausal old biddies whining about whales and rock art who wouldn't have a clue what's going on. Give me a break. Water cannon is too good for them in time of drought.

If you have to say it in the main street of Sydney with a giant Bush puppet, then it's not worth saying. Certainly not worth listening to.

If you find yourself wanting to walk down the street with a dreadlocked feral smelling of patchouli and BO and a face like they fell into a tackle box then it's time to hop in your Landie and go out into the countyside for a camp and some serious solitary introspection.

Okay, number one, I don't have a problem with international diplomacy and the rest of it, I have a problem with shutting down an entire city to provide security which as I understand it is mostly for the benefit of G. Bush. It seems arrogant and high handed on the part of the government to inconvenience hundreds of thousands of people so that they can hang out at the Opera House and the Icebergs restaurant in Bondi. To me it shows an enormous lack of respect for the citizenry on the part of the government.

Number two, I seriously doubt that the security is to stop protesters. Hell, I hope it isn't to stop protesters, I think it's to stop terrorists killing all of these terribly important people.

Number three. The point is not what you look like, but your right to free speech and express your opinion just like any other citizen. Just because you don't like the way they look or smell, or what they say doesn't negate their right to free speech.

EDIT: Sorry, looks like I was wrong they are allowed to protest, just not where they want to.

I hope if if I go to America that the Amercian tax payers see it in their hearts to contribute a few of their tax dollars towards my visit, Since my taxes were wasted on the Bush junket when he visited Sydney with his ridiculous 600 plus enterage. Even had his own chefs, Isn't the humble Aussie Maggot bag with a bit of dead horse good enough for him.
And to inconvenience a whole city the size of Sydney, it would have caused less fuss ansd disruption if it was held in Canberra our nations capital. ( oh not in our backyard)
Then I suppose Lake Burley Griffin has nothing on Sydney harbour if you want to show off,
Yankee go home I say and take your hanga on-ers with you:D

You can't land a 747 in Canberra - so I guess that settles it!
