#1 With GB and Australia on board, the UN has already been made redundant. Saudi Arabia, I mean Germany and France need to watch and learn. Their alliance is amusing to start with, and their dependance on the US is well proven. Like Saudi Arabia, they need to decide if they're for us or against us. That means militarily, politically, and the one that takes real backbone, publicly.

#3 I think it's time to replace NATO with something else. It's supposed to be an alliance, but the number of allies we actually have is considerably smaller than its membership.

#5 Howard is a staunch ally as is Blair. So am I, and I'm an Aussie, but I can't say the same for the rest of this country. If the US goes in without the UNSC it will be the end of Howard and Blair.
Also, Indonesia is threatening us right now in that coded way they love so well, by letting the TNI raid the East Timorese border. The message: If you go to Iraq and fight muslims there, we asian muslims will cause trouble for you here. If the shit really hits the fan one day we will have to fight them. 20 million aussies and a huge long coastline vs. 180-odd million well-armed indonesians....
