I worry that the Australian people either have the collective memory of a goldfish, or simply don't care. little johnie has been crafty enough to make sure there have been no military personel killed in action thus far, and there's always been the argument of supporting our (immensly more powerful) ally - right or wrong. I loathe our involvement in Iraq. I loathe the US's involvement.
Afghanistan is where we should have put all our war and postwar efforts. That's where the Taliban were sheltering Al Queda. If the same efforts had been concentrated on Afghanistan as were in Iraq, the Taliban would be history - instead of a recovering menace, and Al Queda wouldn't have a new base to recruit terrorists from.
