John Howard's Attack on Obama and Democrats
By VictorM: John Howard, Australia's Prime Minister said: "If I was running al-Qaeda in Iraq, I would... pray, as many times as possible, for a victory not only for [US Senator] Obama, but also for the Democrats." Besides being highly innapropriate for a foreign leader to take sides with a political party in another country, this is just another sign that Mr. Howard comes from the same stock as Mr. Bush. In 2004 Americans blew their chance to remove one of these two war mongers from power; I hope Australians exercise better judgment and give Mr. Howard the boot.

Scientist Slams Australia Climate Policy
By Australian scientist Tim Flannery, whom Prime Minister John Howard officially named as Australian of the year: There's no doubt this government has been dragging the chain... I've said in the past that Australia has been the worst of the worst in terms of addressing climate change, but I'm hopeful that we'll see... some movement... Hard steps are now required where a decade ago we may have been able to take smaller and easier ones... We need to get the polluter to pay, and once that happens if the price is right we'll start seeing investments in a new energy economy.Labels: australia, global warming, tim flannery
