OZ GETS IT RIGHT: FOREIGN AID CENTERED ON ENDING MISOGYNY

AUSTRALIA IS MAKING IT A MAJOR FOREIGN POLICY GOAL TO MAKE SURE THEIR MUCH OF THEIR FOREIGN AID IMPROVES THE STANDING OF WOMEN IN THE THIRD WORLD.

WHAT THE FM OF OZ SAID WHEN HE ANNOUNCED THE PROGRAM HERE.

WHY I THINK THE ENTIRE WEST MUST DO THIS - AND MORE - HERE.

[ASIDE: HERE'S WHAT THE FM OF OZ SAID ABOUT THE DEFEAT-O-CRAT POSITION ON IRAQ (VIA DOUG ROSS):

Their proposition that we should let the extremists win in Iraq and that will reduce terrorism is like saying, let Hitler take France and that will secure things a bit more.

Or that if only we hadn’t taken on Hitler he wouldn’t have bombed the East End.

It’s a completely fatuous proposition.

For the extremists, it’s fantastic that people are saying this —because the logical conclusion is to surrender.

OZ PM HOWARD AND HIS FM ARE GRRRRRRREAT! AS MELANIE PHILLIPS SAID: THEY ROCK! (HAT TIP TIM)]
