Are there any Australians who have anything good to say about the Bush administration?

No one on earth outside of a third of the US has anything good to say about the Bush administration. Those folk are mentally diminished and listen to Fox News to much.

I do not agree with what our government is doing, but I believe that has a lot to do with the Bush administration. I've never been so disapointed int my own country before. Honestly, I am scared of our well being because of what they are doing.

Bush won't dare to face his enemy alone. Only after UK and Australia agreed, he started invading Iraq. Now the Americans, Australians and Britons are confused. Where is the WMD? It's now proven that Bush, Blair and Howard are the greatest liars of this century. A beautiful country like Iraq has been destroyed. And the worse is they have created the so-called terrorists/liberators.

Shoot man, I coulda told ya that! Go into the Politics section of yahoo answers. Bush has got his spies laying all kinds of questions in there, posing as normal users to find out exactly what people think of Bushy.

I agree wholeheartedly. Whether or not Bush is doing a good job, and he isn't, he should be the least of Britain's concern. Last I heard, Tony Blair wasn't any better, so they need not complain about our government. Plus, we're actually being affected. They have no idea personally what it feels like to have a man like Bush in power.

George Bush is an alright man. I dont think the world of him but i dont think nothing of him. He is the president and he makes the desicions. Not the people. They do have a say in it, but George makes all the final ones. I dont understand why people complain about him. He has done nothing to harm them and has done nothing wrong. I think he is a good president

The problem is that the Australian government is too intent on stabilising bilateral relations between Canberra and Jakarta. The East Timor crisis of 1999 is an example of how this relationship was severely strained by Australia's perceived 'meddling' in Indonesian Affairs. A very current issue that is kind of related is the granting of the Temporary Protection Visas to the 43 Papuan asylum seekers that were found on Australian shores in late January. Indonesia's reaction was swift and they recalled their ambassador thus quickly souring relations between the two countries. Over that issue, Indonesia and Australia discussed a treaty of some sort which Indonesia wanted Australia to sign saying that they would not meddle in Indonesian affairs. The truth is, neither country wants to mess up the bilateral relationship. Australia is at the moment struggling with its moral duty to protect those countries and provinces that are being denied basic rights and trying to balance good diplomatic relations with Indonesia. \nThis was kinda all over the place i know, but its kinda LONG to explain.

Actually, I think Americans are pretty smart for re-electing Bush.\n\nJust as the Brits re-elected Tony Blair.\n\nJust as the Australians re-elected John Howard.\n\n*MOST* people who vote DO look at the issues and they understand what is going on in the world today. The voters understand that in times like these, we need leaders who will stand up for what they believe in EVEN IF IT SEEMS LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD IS AGAINST THEM.\n\nIt is called having convictions and standing up for yourself. Thank God we have men like Bush, Blair and Howard for standing up for freedom because there are obviously a lot of people out there who would not.

Yes.  And there are still many Australians, [older ones] \n\nwho will always be grateful to the USA for helping defend \n\nus from the Japanese during WW2.\n\nFurthermore, despite what other people think about US \n\ninternational policy today, our gratitude, like our memory \n\nis enduring and secure.\n\n\nWe might not always agree with you, but if you need us, \n\nwell, we know how to look after our mates.

i think that bush only understands about a third of what he says. he's a puppet of dick cheney and karl rove. i think that we've screwed up the middle east enough already. i'm really hoping we can delay things in iran until someone brighter joins his cabinet, or is newly elected.

Hey I'd believe any trash on Bush as he is such a liar and embarrassment to the U.S. Maybe it was his dog he was kissing and someone made a mistake. Pickles is too busy worrying about how the women of Iraq are dressing to pay attention to Bush so maybe he thought he could get a little Rice A Bony why Cupie was giving her fine women's rights speech.

Hey I really like Australia My family nearly moved down there to live for good!  But play with your Kangaroos and leave MY BLOODY STATES ALONE!\n\nI absolutely believe in State Government and their powers!  It is how America was built and how it prospers!  It is why Louisiania has Parishes instead of Counties.  One thing will not do for all!  Look at the pathetic attempt to improve our schools,  in the no child left behind standardization from some of the most brilliant educator who was isolated in a LA LA LAND of theory of  ... well THEORY !   It just does not work in practice!  Nice thought,  will not work!\n\nYou must be from Australia where you are like we were about a hundred years ago!  In so far as vast open lands. We like local control where possible!\n\n\n\nAPS

Hi, I have absolutely nothing against the Americans. I have been over there on holiday a few times and have worked a while in Kansas City, Missouri. Of course as a Brit (living in Switzerland presently),  I did notice that life in America is much more anonym, probably because of the vast size of your country and the sheer magnitude of your population.\nThe only reservation I have with Americans are their eating habits (fast food etc), and their lack of geographical knowledge..outside of the USA. (Who is perfect anyway?)\nI do not detest Bush as a person, I do not really know him,  but I have not agreed with all of his policies and decisions. Then again, the whole world is corrupt anyway. I think we have to be patient for the truth to be illuminated. Maybe one day we will find out the full truth with regard to Irak and other armed conflicts, in which the US Forces are and have been involved.\n\nI evaluate the change as a positive step for USA and for the world, but cannot make any prognosis, as we, normal citizens do not have access to all the information!.\nI was very suprised that Bush was re-elected in 2004 and not surprised at all, that the long-yearned for change of leadership is happening now.\n\nGood luck, and a good question. It shows that you think globally and are interested in outsiders' opinions!

Any official announcement, release, or utterance of any governmental official made under the direction of the Federal Government should be considered propaganda and should be critically analyzed and taken with a grain of salt.\n\nIt's not just the Bush administration.  The Clinton Administration and all previous administrations stretching back to George Washington's terms.  Government is about exerting control over the people, not about telling the truth, though, at times, the truth is useful in controlling the people.\n\nJust be glad that our government allows us the freedom to write things like I just di.... akk!!
