The land of the butch Australian male. Tough guys apparently. Plenty of sledging on the cricket pitch because that is the hard way to play. That is the face that Australia likes to portray.
Unfortunately their decision not to go to Pakistan to play against them because of a couple of bombs going off shows what the Australians are really like.
They have decided that they will not go to Pakistan in light of bombs going off in Lahore. Do they not understand that they are handing victory to the terrorists? Has the fact that they are so far away from the rest of the world coloured their perception of real risk?
Terrorists want to be able to disrupt the normal way of life of the populace. That is where the name terrorist actually comes from. Terrorising people into submisson. Well the Australian Cricket Board have submitted.
It begs the question, what would have happened if they were confronted with the IRA etc. on a daily basis as we were just a very few years back? Probably none of them would have come out of their houses!!!!
I bet the diggers are turning in their graves.
