Oblivion - on the UN thing you are off beam and introducing agendas of your own - this post has nothing to do with the UN. It is about the public spat between your admin and the leader of our opposition.

Wellard - my view is that if Mr Lataham wants to run down wee Georgie, then wee Georgie has a right to attack Muddled Mark. Latham brings much of it on himself, and he is doing that purely from a need for brand distinction. He wants to gull the Australian public into believing we wouldn't be in Iraq if he was PM. That is a huge load of bollocks. The longer he can keep a public spat going between himself and the US the more votes he hopes it will win him.

Personally I think he is on a loser, because although the US admin is not the flavour of the month at the moment in OZ, many people recognise that we are in bed with them for the long haul, and there is just no point in antagonising your partners.
