Thank you Diligent and Mr Sargent as I really was starting to worry about the limited knowledge of some posters. Reality is never as nice as we would like and no country is perfect but really some country must be the most powerful and be the world Sherrif . If not USA or UK then who. Can some leftie explain which other please. I have travelled all my life to over 50 countries and believe me its not nice out there and the warm and cozy Aussies who sleep well in their safe bed should either travel or read up a bit. The world outside the west is mafia controlled or have dictators that make hitler look like mother teresa. Try the biggest in China or Russia and the word democracy is unheard of where 99 percent of the citizens are just worthless ants and keep their opinions to themselves. Try travelling through the ex soviet countries and listen and experience. I know usa can be a bit of a bully but try the rest. We need more than ever a very very strong country who believes in 95 percent democracy and peace and helping the world. Which country gives the most aid etc etc. Read a bit my friends . Someone has to be the boss and after my most recent trip through the old Soviet countries my biggest ever thought was thank god for the strong western counties of UK USA etc. Living here in Aussie is just an amazing lucky experience that most dont understand or are thankful enough. Who else do you want as our allies Russia Iran China any African country any South American country - just who. I am very happy with our allies until someone can convince me otherwise with facts.
