[/QUOTE]Sorry mate, I was actually making a rhetorical question, emphasising the ludicrousness of a war that meant individual Australian men were invading a nation and shooting people with whom they had no quarrel.

AAAARGGGH! Did you not read!? I said let's leave America and other allies out of it. Of course America would win... Whatever side they took. But that's not the hypothetical question posed![/QUOTE]Ah whoops sorry Yorick, I misread it

It all depends.
What if the Aussies went in first and launched a deadly projectile Foster's can attack on the diplomatic moose tribe?
What if the Canucks got in the first punch with a devastating goose bombing?
Who knows?
The answers can be only found through meditation and a large international tournament of stereotypical national animals.

Round 1. The American machine vs. the communist bear
Round 2. The British bulldog vs. that tricky to open (without opposable thumbs) dog food can
Round 3. The highly anticipated Canadian Mooses vs the 'roos.

Rumours abound that the renegade squad known only as D.I.N.G.O's have been sabotaging Canada defence lines, but in retaliation, large lumberjacks with moustaches have been seen chopping down trees, which have landed on key Oz positions.

Tune in again at later to find out less.

I can't read the whole topic cause I don't have time, but:

It depends on who starts it. That country would lose because the rest of the world would fight them. If they both started it, then the U.S. would back Canada- Canada is a big source of lumber and other raw materials, but Australia doesn't do much for the U.S.. If other countries weren't included, then I'd have to say Australia, unfortunately. I don't know the Aussie military condition, but Canada's helicopters are 40 years old and need 40 hours of service in order to fly for one hour, and the entire system is terribly underfunded.

The Canadian Military should buy West Ed's subs, and make them work without the tracks!
And our military couldn't be worse than Australias!

I dunno... the Rugby gang are a bunch of tough sob's no doubt... but the Canadians get to use STICKS (and they REALLY know how to use em), and those skates can give you a nasty cut. And if the hockey players don't get you, they've got the CFL to fall back on (reserve forces)... those guys get to wear PADS. Of course the Rugby players will say that "real men don't wear pads" and therefore they're just plain tougher than the CFL guys... but that doesn't make it any easier to pop a guy upside the head when he has a big padded helmet on. At least with the Hockey players it'll be a fair fight because they'll throw off all their protective gear just as the fight starts.

They both know how to make a good brew... so there's no strategic beer advantage, both sides would be good and blown away before any real rukus started.

And they're both always up for a good party... so whoever wins, the after-war party will be one hell of a blowout.

I'd have to give the nod to whoever had home field advantage, let me know when tickets go on sale [img]smile.gif[/img] .
