Kerry looked like a freak show when he stared into the camera and said that.
Two cheers for the Anglosphere!!!
Honestly, I see this as Australians, slightly Left of the US, as ratifying the Bush-Blair-Howard Doctrine.
Howard has been unambigiously in support of preemption and has stated publicly that he would use preemptive force in Indonesia or Malaysia if he needed to (resident Malaysian anti-semite PM Mohammad Mahathir threatened war if such a thing happened).
One thing this does is it lets the Mikey Moore crowd know that there are people of resolution out there who do not back down when they make a stand on principle.
I am sure this was a shock to many liberals who thought it would be a given that anyone who stood with this President would be driven from office. But looking at the way things are starting to break, this will be the first shock in a series of many to come!
YEs and the proof I have is that the Old Media completely ignored the Howard win. If he had lost it would have been in the news until election day.
