Sigh...
Ah well, being a mere mortal didn't do it...
HEAR YE ALL, AMERICANS. I AM AN AUSTRALIAN. I READ THE PAPERS. I WAS HERE. HARKEN TO MY WORDS.
THE WAR WAS NOT A MAJOR ELECTION ISSUE. NEITHER OF THE MAJOR PARIES ADDRESSED IT IN THEIR CAMPAIGNS TO ANY EXTENT. THE MUCH MENTIONED LINE ABOUT THE TROOPS FROM MR LATHAM OCCURED BEFORE THE CAMPAIGN BEGAN, AND HE CHANGED HIS POSITION SLIGHTLY ANYWAY.
THIS WAS NOT A REFERENDUM ON THE WAR. IT WAS NOT ADDRESSED TO ANY GREAT EXTENT. IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE ECONOMY AND INTEREST RATES.
RONIN HAS SPOKEN, HIS WORDS ARE LAAAAAAW! IGNORE THEM AT YOUR OWN PERIL!!!
Also the amount of troops is smaller then we can field, as to whether or not it is a token gesture, well as long as you remember that everyone of those people can still die, I personally won't be offended. May you offend my PM as much as you wish though.
'Like' Nurgle? Some do, some proffess love, then their are those that apparently hate him, and thenm there are the supporters who bashed thgemselves over the head with the line: 'better the devil you know, better the devil you know' as though Latham should be punished for Howards' lies, not the other way round. But we shall surely remember him. 2nd longest term soon.
