On Iraq and Monty Python...

How refreshing to read the insightful article at http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/does-the-neocon-parrot-have-a-pulse/2007/02/23/1171734017552.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap1 and on the comparison of the situation in Iraq right now and the Monty Python. All it comes down to is, is the parrot just resting (according to the neocon) or is it dead (according to the rest of the world)?

Most everyone sees through the yapping-only of John Howard (Australian PM), on his pretty much lip service in his rhetorically support of Bush's Iraqi stand, given how much "real" support he's providing. I'm sure Howard would prefer not to read Obama's rebuttal of Howard's insistent support of Bush, that if Howard really means what he says, he should send more bodies to back his words.

Australia is a funny place. It's in Asia, but it can't identify with Asia. It wants to stay and play at the Big Boys' table, with US and Europe, but no one really pays alot of attention to it. So, to make itself known/heard, it always resorts to extreme measure, as illustrated by John Howard, and still how much support he enjoys at home.

If I am still in Australia right now, I'll vote him out with my foot, that stupid jerk.
