Grudging respect to the Malian junta.

If ANY of our Governments had even a quarter of the stones these guys do Australia would have the biggest sovereign wealth fund in the world, on par with the Gulf States & Norway. We wouldn't have had to pimp our Universities, nor fill up our cities with shitbox apartments. But instead we have been absolutely raped and pillaged by the gas cartel/mining magnates and our absolute coward politicians.
