Do you hate all things USA or just the more recent issues ie Iraq. I am curious as to whether you believe we should or shouldn't be allies. Of course we could be allies and not brown nose but would the US really be supportive if the sh-t hit the fan in little Oz with say our friendly neighbours in the north. So do we need the protection of the US or are we unlikely to ever be attacked by another country or countries that may believe resource by force is cheaper than resource by purchase?
I believe that it is our interest that we maintain a close relationship with the US and it is perhaps their ability not to be rational when it comes to war that keeps some of the non english speaking war mongering countries a little nervous.
But maybe I am being racist and those countries really have no interest in our vast country and her resources.
