About the Book

Australia has two nations: native Aboriginal land and majority settlers’ territory. January 26 should be observed as national mourning day for real reconciliation in Australia. All the talk of reconciliation and apologies did not change ground situation for the Aboriginals. George Bush killed more Americans than Osama Laden killed. Americans paid heavy price for the mass hysteria and melancholia in the aftermath of September 2001. Berlin wall was brought down but walls were erected in Iraq and Palestine. Celibacy should be abandoned by Catholic priests to prevent child sex abuse. Vatican needs transparency and external scrutiny to prevent further mafia style scandals. Abortion and euthanasia should be taken out of religious contexts respecting the individual’s choice


About the Author

The author lived in and travelled to several countries. He explains how Australia can reconcile with the Aboriginals in the divided country than postponing for the sake of parliament elections and playing to gallery. He has reflected on the aftermath of September 2001 and it’s relevance to Australia. Additionally, his observations from few other countries are presented. Any criticism is much appreciated by the author. When you read the book, please remember what Voltaire said: "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
