I was shocked and startled when on an Aussie TV show, CNNNN (a parody of CNN), interviewed American people off the street, about the war on terror. The answers to questions were funny but horrifying at the same time. They were shown a map of the world, except Australia and the UK had their labels changed to Iraq and North Korea. The Yanks were given little flags to put onto countries that America should nuke. After a moment of searching, they found ‘Iraq’ and ‘North Korea’ and all of them pinned the flags onto the pseudo axis of evil countries (Australia and UK) with out question. It is scary to think that people who are so quick to nuke countries can’t even recognise friend from foe, major allies, like England and Australia, in particular.
Perhaps Australia isn’t seen as a huge ally because of it’s pathetic military and the majority of us we against the war on Iraq but that doesn’t stop the fact that we were one of the first to jump onto the ‘coalition of the willing’ bandwagon and our prime minister, John Howard, has been kissing Bush’s arse from day 1. He’s even got dubbed with name Bonsai (little bush) after his arse-kissing efforts.
What’s even more annoying is that you’ve hardly ever acknowledged the fact that America once supported Sadam. The only weapons of mass destruction that Sadam had was ones that America gave to him when Iraq fighting against Iran. How many times was the meeting between Donald Rumsfield aired on TV? Yes Sadam was and Is an evil SOB, murdering hundreds of thousands of his own people and he also deserves the death penalty but America once supported his evil regime. America also supported the Taliban too. On that note, you’ve got Sadam. Where’s Osama?
But what tops it off is that America has sh*t loads of nuclear weapons itself but uses ‘Iraq has nuclear weapons, they must be stopped’ as an excuse for war. Why doesn’t America destroy their WoMD when they demand others to?
Don't take this as a personal attack on America and it's people but it's true that America isn't seen favourably by others and here are just a few reasons why.
