'And on that tragic day, an era came to its inevitable end.'
That's all there is.
that's a food? I thought it was an old-style laundry appliance that also played music:^)

Hello! I must be going.
Note for EST Americans: FRONTLINE has started right now, 9:00 pm. It's about why America and Britain are alone (sorry Aussies and Spanairds) to take out Saddam.
FRONTLINE is usually pretty good and critical of all sides. It's called BLAIR'S WAR and is pretty interesting so far.

Hello! I must be going.
I don't know who those guys are, but it's 36 minutes into the program and so far Australia and Spain haven't been mentioned at all.

Hello! I must be going.
Whoops, eviljimi, they did mention you guys (you're from the Antipodes, one of them, right?)
"Right now, America and Britain are taking action, almost alone."
There ya go.
And that's PUBLIC television and all.

Little Johnnie = Prime Minister John Howard
Idiot Alex = Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander Downer
I believe the only reason we're in the war is b/c these two fuckwits fancy themselves as more important on the world's stage, than they clearly are. Both are too stupid to notice Dubya and his cronies, laughing at them behind their backs.

Hello! I must be going.
If it makes you feel any better, I don't think they're laughing at them behind their backs. Or to their faces. You really don't hear much about them up here since the Bali attack.
Your foreign minister is named Downer? OMFG!
BTW, I've noticed not much overt support of the war but a quiet undercurrent of happiness here in NY that Saddam will soon be gone, because even though he didn't have anything to do with 9/11 it'll be one less source of money for those Islamofacist bastards in the world. Does anybody who supports the war down there, or at least doesn't mind it that much, cite Bali? From what I heard it was almost as bad a blow as 9/11 was to us.

Yeah, Bali has become our September 11, thanks entirely to the media and the politicians. It was a terrible, terrible tragedy but it was not comparable to September 11, for one simple reason: September 11 was directly targetting America but the Bali bombing was targetting foreigners. Our pollies and media have really hyped the fact 90+ Australians were killed in the blasts but despite what they would have us believe, the terrorists were not solely targetting Aussies. There were Americans at those clubs and I believe they were the primary targets. Australians were "nothing more" than "collateral damage".

Hello! I must be going.
Wow, in a way that's worse than being the targets. But I thought the Al-Qaeda operatives were locals? You'd think they'd know the composition of folks at those particular clubs.
