Three Cheers for Australia
On behalf of America, we'd like to thank our friends Down Under for handing the pro-American Liberal government of John Howard a resounding re-election victory. The Liberals beat the Labor Party, whose candidate for prime minister, Mark Latham, had pledged to cut and run from Iraq. Howard's victory is a defeat for al Qaeda, which recently bombed the Australian Embassy in Jakarta, presumably in hope of influencing the election à la Spain.

Australia is arguably America's greatest ally. It's the fourth biggest coalition partner in Iraq (after the U.S., Britain and Missouri), and Aussie troops--unlike even the British--fought alongside Americans in Vietnam. To those of us who care about American alliances, the Australian election results are heartening news indeed.
