thanks, Howlin. I agree with our Prime Minister John Howard...'be careful what you wish for...' he said.

Thank You, John Howard

John Howard, prime minister of Australia, is doing a world tour. At a stop in Chicago, he told the unmitigable truth, as headlined in the Age newspaper on Friday morning: "World would be a darker place if not for US: Howard."

His actually words to the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations were even better: "To the voices of anti-Americanism around the world, to those who shout 'Yankee go home', let me offer some quiet advice: be careful what you wish for."

It is a reminder that America is a big country, big enough to withstand the attcks of 9/11 -- the trillion-dollar damage to its main stock exchange and the near loss of its military headquarters.

Big enough to absorb the loss of an entire city.

Big enough to have 11 million illegal aliens in its midst and still argue whether welfare benefits for them should be cut off.

Big enough to host the most anti-American organization in the world, the United Nations.

"Without American leadership, the trials and tragedies of recent years could be but a prelude of darker days to come. With American leadership, we can build a better world — not just for us, but for all."

The Iraq War is very unpopular in his nation, yet Prime Minister Howard said, "Australia is with you. We will stay the course. We will finish the job."

I appreciate a world leader who is willing to still stand up for the land of the free and the home of the brave.
