Yes mate they should stick to the ballot box.
That is the fair and quick way to get justice when you are living under the occupation of a foriegn army.
I reckon if the Palestinians gave it a try they would be Free and happy within a year.
Hey maybe if the starving refugees in Africa voted they could get decent treatment from the rest of the world.
Or maybe they should vote with their feet.
Oh no we dont want them over here do we.
I know let them sit out in the refugee hell holes in the dessert and wait for us and the yanks to go over there and enforce their human rights to a free and fair elction.
OOppps just realised it would be illeagal for the UN or Nato or the EU to send troups anywhere the government in power hasnt invited them in.
Hmmmm seems that people who are opressed may not have the options open to them that we have over here. I wonder what they should do?
I know write a few rousing songs that will sort out all their problems and get them some justice.
Lets see here is a cheap gun made in the west in all probability.
Now shall I use it to fight for the chance of getting our children something to eat?
Or sit back safe int the knowledge that might isnt right,and that the rest of the world is very concerned with our welfare and is ont he way to rescue us. HHhmmmmmmmm?
