...kissing the American military's feet. ... Scumbria, let us see you going to war or sending your relatives to war just for the sake of war. You probably do not know what guerrila warfare is. That is what is going on there and that is why the US military is so nervous that they start bombing civilians. Otherwise let us finish our mission and get out. To the Afghans, they had to face the Taliban snipers before and now they have to face the US bombers. What has changed for them?

From an OPINION column in a Australian newspaper Greg Sheridan: Reasons beyond solidarity 18 July 2002 If Australia goes to war with Iraq in support of the US it will not be primarily because of loyalty to the US but because of a clear-headed appreciation of our own national interests. The questions to ask, as a nation, before embarking on a military commitment in Iraq should be: is it right or wrong, will it improve the security situation, does it restore or maintain a necessary international order, is it in our national interests and what consequences will it have on our key alliance relationships? On all these criteria action to stop Iraq acquiring and using weapons of mass destruction passes the test overwhelmingly. theaustralian.news.com.au
