Heh. I did it once. Don't see the harm in doing it again.

My Middle Eastern History lecturer (an American herself) believes the justification that is being used constitutes the "domino effect" - start making democracies (or war-torn lawless nouveau-Vietnams) and all the countries around them will naturally start becoming democracies of their own accords. Except it didn't work for the Soviets, and it won't work now.

The scary part is actually looking at a map of where American bases in the region lie - in nice big rings around Iran and Syria, in fact, which lends a certain amount of authority to rumours that are moving through academic circles, at least, that Iran is next on the hit list.

i heard australia is free of retarded politicans. come here! =P
well, it was worth a try anyway. my friend is a staunch liberalist who voted for labour just to see if howard would win outright anyhow. meh.
what i think it interesting about america is that people wear t shirts saying which political party they like, you won't catch me dead wearing a t shirt with bob brown's face. maybe howard's , though...he has a funny face.

Yeah... but that's just all out not true.

Buuuuut on the other hand, Australia has no resources that any other countries are interested in so the "Look at us! We're in the part of the world no one else is" is still a more preferable international policy by my book.

I wouldn't come here to escape moronic voters. Our Prime Minister has been shown to be lying over and over and over again as well as following GWB off a cliff. How did he win the election?

Interest rates will go up if you vote Labor!

...Good work.
