AUSTRALIAN diplomats should have ignored American orders and gone straight into New Orleans to rescue trapped Australians, Opposition Leader Kim Beazley said today.

Uhhh. NO. He's not saying what you're interpreting at all. He's saying just the opposite which would border on an act of war.

He's probably suggesting that, by knowing the right people, a couple of folks could have gotten "official" passes to enter NO

What part of "ignoring American orders" didn't you understand?

Well, let's turn this around. Suppose a US diplomat sprouted a pair (fat chance) and went into a disaster area in a foreign country to rescue US citizens. Would you be for or against it?

Oh, I understand all of it. He's talking about ignoring the rules made for the masses and getting through the checkpoints with passes procured by "friends," not about some wild-ass invasion. But if you'd like the indulge yourself in your fantasy, be my guest.
