Thanks, Bush and Dummy Rummy. Because of you, were now the most hated group of people on Earth

Yeah really, how come they don't show the love the way islamofascist tertorists do, like killing 200 Aussies in a Bali nightclub.

Remember, CNN, Dan Blather, Tom Broken-craw, Peter Jennings et al have only reinforced the already anti American tendencies of many of our allies (such as Australia). They reason with some logic that if Americans themselves condemn Bush policies, their own Bush antipathies must be valid and reasonable.And then there's the anti Israel, anti American stylings of the BBC for "balance."

Only America must wear the hair shirt.

I recognize that it is a fraudulent coalition, but Australia is a proud member of the powerful force that invaded Iraq. The Aussies have 850 troops in Iraq and promise to send more. I, for one, am grateful for their sacrifice and their contribution.

Australia is a major American ally--and one that makes a significant contribution toward the war on terror given its population. One hundred thousand Australians have died fighting in alliance with American troops, mostly in the Second World War.

So please don't whine about the Aussies; they're not whiners. Sure, they have a few bad apples, but they're behind us--and we should be behind them.

So long Ezzie, you POS!

Someone got lost on their way to DU...

Right on! I wonder if they'll even sack the policemen. Of course, it would have been better if the students had been able to give them a taste of their own batons.

What do you expect from a buncha convict spawn?

So you're going to smear all Aussies by what a few uniformed idiots did?
Consistency would require that you apply the same to the prisoner abuse in Iraq,
and, I assume, condemn your American self for what our soldiers did.

Well, if he picked the screen name "Ezra Pound" he might just be a semi-psychotic American poet who lives in Italy, hates the Joos and practices treason on the radio.

Or maybe not...

Go zot yourself, troll.
