The awful images we see are akin to a third world country suffering from violence and war and crisis and self destruction.

DRCongo. Iraq. Afghanistan. Liberia. Lebanon. Kenya. And many others have travelled this path.

And now Australia looking very much like a third world nation needing help from the watching world.

Burned out car wrecks.
Women crying. Dead bodies. Children fearing.
Land devestated as if by atomic bomb.
Smouldering crushed homes & businesses.
Perished dreams.
Extinguished hopes.
Demoralised people.

Yes you will recover.
You must.

But forever you will know you are now only one step from the ghastly third world image that you scornfully claim other nations to be. And the witnessing world will also know such things, as they have always done, that your country is at all times but one small tread from humiliation. No better than the rest of us. Perhaps even worse as you are not yet hardened to the reality of large scale disaster.

Learn from this event the consequences of your HUBRIS and never imagine again that your nation occupies a glorified position of untouchability by disasters, natural or man made.

The ugly images broadcast to the world of Australia and its recent events must surely now give you pause to sit in quiet introspection as you assess how your behaviours have upset your own people so much that they would seek to turn on you and set such fires upon you deliberately.
And then once you have considered your national behaviour, think also of the world beyond your borders, and how you have treated the people who now witness your nightmare.
Australia must make changes.

But instead you will make defensive counter claims and excuses.
And denials.

  • This person has no idea about Australia or even what's going on in the world. We're not like Americans we don't run around shouting how our country is so good (no offence meant and I have alot of american friends) in actual fact pretty much every summer we have fires in some part of our country just not as big. And this year we had the devastating floods which I was affected by. We like every country on earth have our share of disasters. Please keep your ill informed opinions to yourself.

  • the author of this video is obviously on a crusade against australia. little does he know that australia has the second highest highest living standard and is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. whatever inferiority complex this guy has against australia has probably come from jealousy and a sense of insecurity that his country cant hope to match the likes of australia
