If it wasn't for the United States Navy, Australians would be speaking Japanese.

I have a slight suspicion that the assailants prefer speaking Arabic to English.

No they wouldn’t. And everybody DownUnder is sick and tired of hearing Yanks say that, so why not give it a rest.

We all deplore this assault on American sailors. WW-II will have had nothing to do with that.

Australia is having a bit of a problem with muggers and drunkards in their city streets, lately.

A series of attacks on Indian students forced the Australian government to send a special envoy to India, for explanation, about a month ago.

I’m guessing this is related to the same people. Suspects? Lebanese-”Australian” immigrants.

Good Grief!

The Aussie's have been our best Allies and I hope they see us the same, they wouldn't stand for it. If an Aussie had been anywhere near that incident he/she would have been right in the middle of it. Love them Aussie's.
