For one thing,Our Prime minister Mr. John Howard could NOT be labelled as spineless because at this very moment is reviewing our troops on the ground IN Iraq.(Yes that's right -he's right in the thick of it.)
I think he's got more balls to be a leader of a country than anyone else I know!(That includes G.W.)
I did have concerns for him when he was travelling on a c-130 transport from the Aussie base into Bagdad to meet with the Iraq P.M.,because the plane filled with thick smoke after takeoff,requiring everyone aboard to don gas masks.
It would be disastrious for Australia to lose a great leader in such circumstances.Thank god the plane landed safely and no one was harmed.
As an American, I appreciate your passion, and salute your Prime Minister John Howard, and the bravery of of the soldiers from Australia.
Also, as an American, do not disparage the President of the most powerful nation in the world.
He has a name, George Walker Bush.
Bless you and yours.
