The illusion is that we now have no foreign policy of our own. We must be in a US “Theater of War” at all times and "things" won't get any better, only worse. The Liberal party has done the dirty on us and was is secret negotiations with Washington for three years and now we are building a base in Western Australia that will commit us to the US global machine of expansion. Howard sold us out and Rudd won’t have the guts to pull us back from the brink, it’s now a defeatist attitude. We all should be told how our future now and will always be, tied up to any future US aggression.
US Military Expansion and Intervention
The Bush administration says it will carry its "war against terrorism" to many lands. Since September 11, 2001, the US has waged wars on Afghanistan and Iraq and deployed troops in many other countries to carry out special operations against alleged terrorists. In early 2002, the administration announced that it considered Iraq, Iran and North Korea as part of an “axis of evil.” By 2005, the "axis of evil" had become the "outposts of tyranny," and included Zimbabwe, Cuba, Belarus, Burma, Iran and North Korea. Threats against Syria have intensified, as Washington has heightened tensions with Iran and North Korea over nuclear programs. News of the "war on terrorism" fills the US mass media as political analysts, journalists and others speculate about who will be the next target for US regime change.
