This is what happens after decades of dragging your wars into the
Middle East, where they didn't belong.
Let's hear it, now:
"Boo-fucking-hoo! Multiculturalism brought this on us!"
No it didn't. Capitalist exploitation and stategic geopolitics did.
The bill is coming due.
Say your sorry, and make amends (reparations), and - if you really
don't like it - then you might be able to head it off. If you do like
it, then have fun: Your victims aren't ignorant third-worlders anymore
- unfamiliar with the tactics of the West - nor are they weak.

Nation's day of shame
Luke McIlveen, Kara Lawrence and Peter Trute
12dec05
THEY called it a day of pride, but it will go down as a day of national
disgrace.
Thousands of drunken youths descended on Cronulla, south of Sydney,
yesterday to begin the race riots police had feared, and which
continued to trigger violence into the night.
By this morning 25 people had been injured and 16 arrested, about 40
cars were vandalised and an Australian flag was burned, as race-fuelled
violence spread through Sydney's beachside suburbs.
NSW Premier Morris Iemma today described the behaviour as "stomach
turning" and said it would not be tolerated. "I saw yesterday people
trying to hide behind the Australian flag, well they are cowards whose
behaviour will not be tolerated," Mr Iemma told Channel 9. "That was
the most disgraceful, disgusting behaviour that I've ever seen." Mr
Iemma said he planned to bring together community leaders for
discussions about how to prevent further violence.
As the crowds gathered yesterday a Middle Eastern youth told locals:
"I'm an Australian, I was born here," as they taunted him with chants
of "Kill Lebs".
Minutes later, he was punched to the ground and kicked, before being
led to safety by police. Bashings continued during the day, as two
girls of Middle Eastern appearance were pelted with beer bottles, a
teenager who was said to be minding his own business was chased by a
mob and bashed, and a man was cornered against the back of a utility
and beaten.
The day began as a show of solidarity as thousands of locals draped
themselves in Australian flags and called for peace in their suburb.
Up to 150 police were positioned beachside to cope with the 5000-strong
crowd.
But, as the beer flowed, the huge crowd became violent, roaming the
streets in search of a target for their anger.
Threats had been made since two volunteer lifesavers were bashed eight
days ago - and yesterday the crowd was looking to get square.
"What the Lebs did last week was low, and it's time we showed a bit of
pride towards where we live," local volunteer lifesaver Luke O'Brien
said.
Ambulance officers treated dozens of injuries, mostly from broken glass
or assault-related injuries.
Shortly before 3pm, word spread that a Lebanese gang was arriving at
Cronulla train station. Some of the mob began searching the train for
anyone of Middle Eastern appearance.
They found two males and began bashing them before police intervened,
using batons as they dragged the youths off the train and formed a
human shield around the station to force back the crowd.
About 4.20pm, near the North Cronulla Surf Club, a brawl broke out and
six males were injured. Police called an ambulance, which was attacked
by the mob as it left.
They threw bottles, smashing the ambulance's windows, then tried to
kick in the doors. One ambulance officer was struck in the head with a
bottle and another was cut on the arm by shattered glass.
Five of the six patients in the back, who were suffering injuries from
the assault, were taken into the care of police, while the sixth man
was taken to St George Hospital suffering injuries to his face and
body.
By 5pm yesterday police had arrested six people.
NSW Premier Morris Iemma said the hooligans involved yesterday would
face the full force of the law.
"The behaviour of the crowd at Cronulla today was disgraceful, cowardly
and will not be allowed to continue," Mr Iemma said.
The mob violence spilled over into Maroubra last night when car loads
of youths of Middle Eastern descent swarmed to the suburb, smashing
cars and attacking police.
A woman was bashed, a youth reportedly stabbed, and another man
admitted to hospital after being beaten with a bat.
In Maroubra, in Sydney's east, more than 100 cars had their windscreens
smashed by the youths armed with bats and crowbars.
One car was set on fire in Malabar Rd by a molotov cocktail thrown from
a vehicle.
One group of youths leapt from a red Pulsar in Maroubra Rd brandishing
a pistol and yelled: "This place is ours."
Rachael Cooney had the windscreen and windows of her sedan smashed by a
group of men with crowbars. "There were about 50 of them running down
the street chanting in Arabic," she said.
The day had begun like any normal Sunday in Sydney. Families enjoyed a
morning swim and early cloud gave way to brilliant December sunshine.
By noon the beach-front concourse at North Cronulla to the city's south
resembled a summer cricket match with thousands of bare-chested locals
drinking beer and chanting slogans.
A group of mates ran a sausage sizzle from the back of their ute.
But as the beer flowed the day began to turn ugly. Cries of "eff off
Leb" goaded the crowd which had reached several thousand by 1pm.
Just after 1pm the throng descended on Northies bar where a "Leb" was
rumoured to be hiding.
The mob screamed for him to show himself with several chanting "string
him up".
They eventually found three Middle Eastern youths in front of North
Cronulla Surf Club and the inevitable happened. One of the Middle
Eastern youths challenged the crowd to a fight.
Locals bombarded him with punches then kicked him when he went down.
Bleeding from facial cuts, he was led to safety by dozens of police.
There was more beer in the sun and more trouble to follow.
Two girls of Middle Eastern descent were the next victims.
As they walked along the street another group of teenage girls pushed
them to the ground and assaulted them. The baying crowd erupted again,
this time with calls of "cat fight" and "kill the Leb bitches".
Police parted the crowd and pulled the girls out, rushing them through
a side entrance of Northies Hotel.
Many in the crowd showed off tattoos of the Southern Cross, a badge of
honour since two volunteer lifesavers were bashed at North Cronulla
eight days ago.
Ironically, the mob nearby sang I am, You Are, We are Australian. It
may have begun as a show of pride but by day's end it was a display of
the ugliness of humanity.
