re: b&b analysis:pst. a bit of juicy rw gossip pow There are 130k troops surrounded in Iraq, what can Saddam do ? He is contained and it is almost a form of entraptment.
Iraq is not capable of causing damage with any nation, let alone another war, it will only heighten an already anti-west sentiment in the Arab world.
What is Howard standing up to ? A rabbit hiding in his hole with tank destroyers surrounding it? Give me a break, what a man, what a John Wayne.
It is one thing standing up to what you believe in, and another thing believing in a foregone conclusion where it includes the unecessary loss of life, then you gotta be a total nutcase in particular when Australia is closer to Asia than the UK and the US, so we're being the puppet.
Our soil hasn't had a wiff of terrorism - when we do get involved in this war, what are the chances of terrorist threats heightening ? What has Iraq done to Australia ? or are we merely sheep to the UK and the US ?
If the latter, Australia will never "grow up" ..we will always have our hand held by others. Kiddies.
