    re: howard's end/ljones "I was not arguing the merits of such a relationship."

    Yes but I think this thread is in essence exactly that, over an above argueing the merits of US intent, & their allies intent, even Saddam's intent, we're arguing the merits of Aust mindlessly participating. Besides neither Canada nor NZ, who also share that "British Empire" heritage (would also suggest that the US broke away from that so long ago there is a vast divergence in real core values & institutions versus surface similarity), are blindly trying to keep up with the Village Idiot, his Poodle & his Gerbil.
