There has been some talk this week of the US setting up a proper and permanent military base in Australia. Both sides of politics have taken their usual stance, but overall the outcry has been very muted to say the least. Now this story rears its head from time to time and gets shouted down. But judging from the lack of *rage* it seems that it may get some more momentum this time.

With the US withdrawing from Saudi Arabia and under constant pressure in Japan and the Philippines, would a base inside a more intune country be good? Or a risk to our friendship?

and also think, would you like a foriegn base in your country?
