PM Howard and the Aussies are true friends

We stay in Iraq: Howard

08jul05

THE terrorist attacks in London would further strengthen Australia's resolve to continue in the war against terrorism, Prime Minister John Howard said today.

Mr Howard said the series of blasts targeting London's underground and bus networks would not affect Australia's involvement in Iraq.
He said the attacks were a reminder of the indiscriminate nature of terrorism.

"I want to make it very plain that this kind of attack will not alter the attitude of the Government of Australia towards terrorism and towards the commitments we have with our American, British and other friends to Iraq to Afghanistan," he told ABC radio.

"People must understand that a country like Australia will not be bullied or intimidated and the people who believe we can are wrong.
