What a change fifty years makes
A E Brain looks at the new Australian contribution to Iraq both here and here.
As Alan says
"But now the sons and daughters, grandsons and grand-daughters of the people who screamed "Tenno Banzai!" are on our side. They're building bridges, in more ways than one, and not casually slaughtering anyone in their way. We've been here before."
Perhaps in fifty years, Iraqi engineers will be rebuilding bridges in North Korea? Who knows.
Of course, Margo "The Fundamentalist Zionist Lobby controls Australian Media and Politics" Kingston is unhappy and making some incredibly original diatribes that boil down to Howard=Hitler!!!!1111
Boo fucking hoo.
(As a side note: The SMH letter writers are as big a set of whingers as ever. Live with it, wankers)
Update: James Ozark points out Kim Beazley's not making a lot of sense.
