Have you spoken to everyone on the planet? Are you now the authority on the rest of the world's opinion?

I have been in several countries, and in many cases a majority of the people I spoke to believed their country was the greatest.

Granted the people I spoke to represent a very small number of the population. But to say that America is the only country that calls itself the greatest is a fabrication to say the least.

They are not a threat to my country - why is that, do you think?
Oh, you are wrong about that as you are wrong about everything you have said. The islamoterrorists certainly are a threat to Australia, but of course they are focused on America and Israel and even Europe before you because you are simply easier to conquer. As I said to you before, rooting for the downfall of America is rooting for your downfall. It really is only America that has the power to protect Australia, or any other country, from any threat that presents itself which we can presently imagine, except for islamoterrorist sneak nuclear strikes.

The majority of Iranians are innocent people, and you believe you have the right to kill them?
Innocents die in all war. We do not target them as the islamoterrorists do nor do we hide among them or pretend to be them, but we do not believe we have the right to intentionally kill them. I know you can't understand the difference between targeting a military enemy and accidentally killing civilians with intentionally targeting them. I know the viewpoint full well. Don't waste you time with it on me. It makes me want to puke since of course if we were to target civilians we could simply carpet-bomb or nuke muslim cities until total surrender. End of war. We don't because we are the good guys.

Being rich and powerful does not make the US the greatest country. If anything, it makes you the country with the biggest ego.
I think you really need some help with the jealousy. You should be proud of your country, a great country, and less jealous just because there is one out there stronger and richer than yours. After all, we will use our power to help you, even if/as you "hate us", when the time comes.

I like my country, but I don't consider it the greatest. I don't consider any country to be the greatest, because, as I said, it just sounds selfish to consider yourself better than everyone else.

And that is your opinion. You are free to have it. Do not believe that your opinion is held by everyone in your country.

Maybe they are focused on the US because Australia doesn't stick it's nose where it doesn't belong? Maybe it's because Australia doesn't interefere, and threaten to invade a country if they don't comply with the orders of the US?

That's your opinion.

I am proud of my country - very proud, in fact. I am not proud of your country, because when and if the US decides to invade Iran, our troops will likely be sent over there as well, to help you fight your battle.

Yes, I know the islamoterrorist apologist propaganda talking points. You could just sum it up with I believe the terrorists are the good guys and cut to the chase. However, you might want to think about the fact that islam has been conquering and murdering people, whether they lived nearby or not, ever since muhammed their wonderful role model of a prophet started 65 wars to spread the beautiful evil of islam. Even totally evil murderes can be right about something from time to time and even make a valid point, but it doesn't mean they are good people. You are simply confused. Consider all the countries in the world presently facing islamoterrorism that are not allied with the USA in the ME or involved in the ME militarily whatsoever. Its simply not true.

Yep, it's all about Iraq and...

India and the Sudan and Algeria and Afghanistan and New York and Pakistan and Israel and Russia and Chechnya and the Philippines and Indonesia and Nigeria and England and Thailand and Spain and Egypt and Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia and Ingushetia and Dagestan and Turkey and Kabardino-Balkaria and Morocco and Yemen and Lebanon and France and Uzbekistan and Gaza and Tunisia and Kosovo and Bosnia and Mauritania and Kenya and Eritrea and Syria and Somalia and California and Argentina and Kuwait and Virginia and Ethiopia and Iran and Jordan and United Arab Emirates and Louisiana and Texas and Tanzania and Germany and Australia and Pennsylvania and Belgium and Denmark and East Timor and Qatar and Maryland and Tajikistan and the Netherlands and Scotland and Chad and Canada and China and Nepal
and the Maldives and...

...and pretty much wherever Muslims believe their religion tells them to:

"Fight those who do not believe in Allah, ... nor follow
the religion of truth... until they pay the tax in acknowledg-ment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection."
Qur'an, Sura 9:29

Yes, one of the reasons I called Australia a still great country, worth defending. So, I guess the fact that the majority of your people/your government support us with troops means that Australians are stupid people or a stupid country, as you said America is?

LOL

I meant that America appears stupid with some of things that seem to happen over there. I didn't mean the actual country was stupid.

Some people think it's very important. Don't ask me why.
