This whole ordeal is a tragety. All the lies(by ommission especially). I am sorry your leaders drug you into this. In the US, we're not allowed to see pictures of the caskets of the dead. Our president speaks of their heroism but we are no longer allowed to see their flag covered caskets upon their return home. How sick that our president does not speak out against this.

Somehow, I believe, the real tragety for the world as a whole, is that so little is being done to stand down the US. At least presently.... What I fear for my country and its citizenry, is that the worlds wrath is being saved up. God judges countries and individuals in ways that can be easily explained away as something other God doing the deed. And America is so far off track that electing Kerry is already too little too late. We're in trouble too.

Sure wish I was in your area of the world though. You have an amazing country too. My apologies for my country leading the way...I am so sorry...you just don't know sir.

All the best to you Aussies and Kiwi's, especially those in harms way,

Will.
