Sorry Julia - you are wrong and I suspect that you have a very misplaced and uninformed view of Australia's interest with regard to Iraq and Afghanistan and the United States.
Just goes to show how the US military/industrial complex has taken control of our military decision making. But why is anyone surprised by that?
It was a disgrace when Howard started these wars and it is still a disgrace now that Rudd and you are continuing with them.
I personally don't mind if you and your family and the family of the Opposition leader want to head off to Afghanistan and participate in this shitty little war. Go for it - the closer you get to the front line the better as far as I am concerned. I will even be at the airport waving you off. And don't expect to be treated any differently from David Hicks if and when you get back.
But I do object rather heartily - to you and him agreeing to send our Australian boys off to fight this unnecessary war - and then standing up and telling us that we will be there for decades.
You have no friggin idea.
We elected you to govern our nation - not to pander to a US military that exists to acquire and use weapons of mass destruction against the people of Iraq and Afghanistan and anywhere else that takes their fancy.
