Nothing succeeds like succour
Hi Ed,
As you may have inferred, I opposed the attacks, and Australia's participation, but now we're in it, we have to do it right.
The important issue is not how to win the war, but how to win the ensuing peace. This will not be so easy - high tech and force of manouvre will not suffice. It will take political sophistication and steady determination.
The examples would be post-war Europe and Japan where a US occupation force was not hated, and was able to tread the political tightrope.
Let's hope we have the smarts, as well as the smart bombs...
