The majority of people do not seem to understand that invading Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism (no WMDs, no ties to Al Queda at the time). The comment about Bush being a corporation in disguise is dead on. Bush is not bright enough to run the country. He's just a figurehead representing right-wing interests. This is a very sad day for America and the world.

> Thanks and how frightening is that! Amazing how much trouble one person can cause. Yes, I was sorry to read that John Howard got re-elected. I think I read that it was probably because of your healthy economy despite the fact that most Australians don't agree with his stance on Iraq.

>Right wing politics here in Australia are on a par with what you have in America. This time Howard & the Liberals got re-elected because middle Australia is mortgaged up to the eye balls, last time he got re-elected 3 years ago was because he was turning refugee boats around or locking refugees up in the middle of a desert(Woomera).
I have left wing leanings because I enjoy having free doctors, hospitals, drugs, free education & good social security that doesn't leave people starving in the gutter.
Cheers,
Paul.
