[quote="Captain Wilkins":36827]If Australia was directly threatened, like we were in 1942, by the Japs, then i would most certainly join up. However, i have no intention of Joining up for the express purpose of going over to Iraq, or North Korea, or Iran, or whoever else George Bush has a grudge against, just to make him feel better.

Agree 100%. We need to focus our relations on Asia far more than the US because like it our hate it Australia is part of Asia and there are many gripes I have about America, her government and her policies. However, Australia does need a great and powerful friend and before the US it was Britain but after WWII it became America. Also the insurance policy idea sent Australian troops to Vietnam which meant dead Australia soldiers for some gay cause hake:
