I'm American.  Of course I don't know about the outside world.\nSeriously, all I know is that he was a partner-in-crime with Bush and Blair on the Iraq war.

Back in 1990, the Australian Ambassdor to the US visited our college.  It was an interesting Q&A session and we got to see some things that really impressed me with Australia and its people. I found the labor laws to be rather interesting...especially in regard to overtime and so forth, not to mention just how powerful the labor unions are down there. One in particular stuck me...Bechtel was building a hydrogen peroxide plant down there and the unions were so tough, they hardly worked any overtime (since it's taxed at such a high rate)...in fact, the bulk of the crews were out the gate by 4pm each day.   If I ever could scrape up the money, I'd make a visit in a heartbeat.

I think Anthony Mundine's a legend! So glad he won. His cheeky confidence is a good thing, just like it was with Muhammed Ali. His father is right about the racism - a lot of white Aussies just seemed to go for Green because he was the white guy. Green handled the defeat like a real man though - respect!

he has had alot of emails from people who disagree with him hopping in the ambo!\nthey are saying he had no right to get in even though Todd Russell asked him too. i'm not sure if channel 9 said anything about it, but he is upset with all the critiscism, from sunrise watchers.\npersonally i think he done nothing wrong.

Well, we know better now that Kissinger and Blair said yesterday that the Iraq war cannot be won.  Sadly,  Saddam was the right man for the job.  We need to find another like him but nicer to the u.s. or just put saddam back in.  Only a dictator can control those sectarian fools.  And we would love to do it but that would not be PC.  Well, I volunteer yourself Mr. Erudite, I think you could do the job.   Anyone else here nominate Mr,. E?

The man presented solid evidence supporting what we all know to be true - the corruption of our government. Why is it that we allow this to continue. Why doesn't somebody pull them down to their knees. Has it always been that way. Is that why?\nWe can be that blink to what is happening now and what has happened in the past. This is frightening to think that we have ALL been had.

Well thank you...that was a first for me.  You are a lone voice in the wilderness to most of us. \nGood question...the media has not said a word to my knowledge.

Thank you.  It's nice to know who our friends are and believe me, the respect and admiration goes both ways.  Though if you want a true look at who these "anti-war" protestors are, follow the link.  The zombietime "hall of shame" is enough to make one's dinner return.  However, the photographer also highlights the good people in the counter-protests and those who oppose terrorism in the "Bus-19" event.\n\nIt's amazing to see the difference between the rabid "anti-war" leftists and those who oppose them with dignity and self-respect.\n\nJust so one knows, I use "anti-war" as these "tolerant" and "open-minded" protestors seem to support any war in which the USA and her allies are destroyed and thus are only "anti-war" when the USA and her allies are winning.  Though, ironically, these same people are the first the terrorists would kill if given the chance (the "Queers for Palastine" group obviously didn't read Islamic Law's view on homosexuality)...  A chance the Armed Forces of America, England, and Australlia not to mention police and intelligence agencies world-wide will not give the terrorists.  \n\nYes, the irony of it all is the same people the leftists hate so much are protecting those same leftists from the terrorists and dictators they seem to love.

I voted for him the first time, only because I was 19 and in the military and he promised a pay raise. The second election time I found my ass on the line in Bahgdad fighting for a war started for underlying interest. So I voted for Kerry, but you know what, Paul Wolfowitz said the military overseas vote wouldn't count due to security issues. Yet we blast our war strategies all over the media, can you see the irony in that?? I can sure as hell can.

i think he is better than the alternative. I hate all politicians, they all say what they think will get them elected and give themselves a great big rap. Running the country must be a huge job and yeah johnny might not be doing a great job in all areas, but i think he is better than beazley.

The question should be are there any honest governments anywhere in the world? Are there any honest politicians left? Are people okay with their government's lack of forth-coming? I am not happy with people feeding me lies and its up to us the voters to demand the truth and honesty. Although, I am very weary of ever getting the truth to come out of a politicians mouth. Let me know your answers!

If you're so bloody concerned and informed about politics, why can't you spell John Kerry properly? As long as we're on the subject, why are you unaware that Kerry was refering to the almight GWB being "stuck in Iraq" and not to the soldiers themselves?\n\nI've had enough of this uber-republican right-wing ranting from people who haven't a clue what is going on in this country. I demand answers.

I live in NE PA, and I really hope Don Sherwood loses his job. He is an arrogant arse, who carried on a five year affair with some woman--an affair the ended when she called 911 to report him choking her. He ran on the "family values" line of bologna Rep's loved to pull out last time around before so many of them got in trouble for fraud, pedofilia, affairs, being gay....I voted ofr Casey over Santorum--he's too churchy for my taste, and I can't think of a single thing he's done that I thought was good.

Still waiting for intelligent answers? I hope people are just busy typing, after the first two I saw.\nI have to say, I agree with you- we need the checks and balances back in our government. Stagnation was going on, and I think a few of us were about ready to take to the streets in rebellion. It's kind of a shame the way you have to MAKE people act right. I think we will see more cooperation, less arrogance now that they have gotten the wake up call of the elections. I am hopeful.

to RLP and Mini me...Iraq didn't come over here and blow us up (nor will they ever)....As far as the question...I fail to have a glimmer of an idea as to why re pub's hold on to their blind faith in george bush (lower case letter's emphasized). he is a mad man and his staff are either smart crooks or inept peter principle recipients
