I don't know much about Australian politics, you said. Boy, you sure learn fast. Now we are guilty of appeasement of China and worse than Clinton, and, if Howard's opponent is worse, you say we are in a lot of trouble. What's your beef? Some little Aussie sheilagh gave you the b*m's rush on your last vacation down under?
Save your concern for your own neck of the woods. We are going just fine, thank you.
I know about Howard and his corrupt band.
They are selling Australia down the river, or ocean as it were.
I am not saying whomever his comptetition is is better or worth supporting only that Howard is a weasel of the French Clintonian type.
He has allowed his administration to be a surrogate for the Chinese which is very strange.
I think he is either scared or purely corrupt. Maybe a combination of the two.
When Howard's administration stated that if there were a war involving the US and China that Australia would not back the US and that the mutual defense treaty between the US and Australia is "symbolic" it was noticed.
