Aussies Say They've Been Bush-whacked
The Australian

Bush-whacked by White House follies

October 08, 2003

You'll recall how the US responded to al-Qa'ida's destruction of the World Trade Centre twin towers. It mounted a full-scale attack on a neighbouring and more important New York landmark: the UN building on the East River.

Having joined the US in deriding, dividing and demoralising the UN, Australia now echoes George W. Bush's demands for its reform. After ignoring and overriding its objections to the war in Iraq, having helped hound Hans Blix and his weapons inspectors from the scene, having accused the UN of everything from irrelevance to moral cowardice, we back Bush in his UN-bashing.

3. We have a lot in common, you know.
Our nations were founded by contrary people who were run out of Europe for one reason or another. Y'all do talk funny, though. :)
