Hi Jay
Canada behaved much better than Australia when it came to Iraq. A good friend of the USA would have given frank and fearless advice. Instead the Australian Government has been motivated by some form of insecurity to back the USA regardless. Looked at charitably it could be concern about conflict with Indonesia over Irian Jaya and stuff like that in the future. Otherwise it seems to be a venal grab for the Free Trade Agreement.
