Australian Performers Snub our Troops

The entertainers who are snubbing our troops make no sense in their reason for not performing in Iraq. They are against our troops working to give democracy in Iraq a chance, but at the same time they support our troops who are doing the job? If these entertainers simply said they will not go to Iraq because they fear for their safety, then I could understand them.

Our troops are doing a tough job, standing up to a murderous extremist minority. In turn they will prevent Iraq from remaining a rouge state that will export terror. The line used by the entertainers is that of Mr Beasley’s and even he realised the lack of logic in what he was saying – is that why he has passed the baton onto these entertainers?

These entertainers have a media profile, but no claim to intelligence or responsibility. They sit safely in Australia, immune from accountability for the propaganda fuel they provide to terrorists. Once entertainers stray from satire and move to promoting a political point of view, to me they loose their appeal. In turn I can refuse to pay for their CD’s or tickets to their shows and encourage others to do likewise.
