A Random WikiLeak Opinion

There has been lots of talk about WikiLeaks lately, and to be honest I am fairly concerned about Wiki Leaks. I will start this report by saying I have not educated myself on the topic in depth, I am going off 2nd hand information, the media and other sources which are not as effective as others.

My thoughts on WikiLeaks is that it probably is not the best thing in the world. While I believe the idea behind WikiLeaks is a good thing, I really do believe the way it has been gone about is wrong. I believe all Governments needs to be honest with the people, but to try and say a Government needs to be completely transparent? Well I think its ridiculous. Governments are in a position where they need to provide for the people they serve for, they need to help and assist where they can and at the same time they need to protect. It is easy for people here in Australia to cry foul at our “terrible” government, but I really would like these people to look at other parts of the world, parts that WikiLeaks is ignoring (because its to hard). The people in North Korea are lied to about every fact, yet he is not trying to help them – why? Because its probably all to hard when compared to the United States.

Iran is another country with great issues, we can see from WikiLeaks that its neighbours are scared and would prefer for them to be brought down. I said earlier some good things have come from these Leaks, and they really have. I understand an election was changed thanks to these reports, and innocents who died due to an American Attack got found out (although I doubt the soldiers would have been effected). While these are good things, what good can come from informing North Korea that its 1 ally thinks of it as a spoilt child, or that a king of SA would like the US to invade Iran! – These will only raise tensions in the world and bring us closer to all out war. Yay WikiLeaks!

Juliaan is a man who seems to have an issue with the USA. He honestly seems to have an issue with the western world way of life, and yet he hides behind our laws and while he put on the big show in London, he really is hiding from the world. I would be impressed to see him get some details on North Korea, Iran, Cuba (not really bad), or any other nation that has real issues. Until that time, I have no respect for WikiLeaks or its creators.

Please note, I like the idea behind WikiLeaks, I just feel if it is going to be done for 1 nation, it needs to be done to all. Until then, I do not believe what is happening is the right or just thing.
