After September 11th attacks of 2001, the Australian people were widely wary of a NEW George Bush in the Whitehouse, and the presidents announcement of "going to war with Iraq", just sounded like Junior Bush wanting to impress his daddy Bush with bombing the heck out Iraq, just like daddy did ten years earlier. However Aussies are a cluey bunch and soon thereafter when the "Coalition of the willing " was born the majority of Australians were opposed to their country going to war over "daddy issues". Nobody ever really bought the WMD garbage in Australia, (Despite the Lamestream Media pumping down their throats) as we have always seen the war-mongering attributes of Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush for the self-greasing Corporate War profiteers they really are.
The George W Bush plan for invading other countries was seen by Aussies as pure war-for-profit driven greed and mass demonstrations AGAINST joining the US war on terror agenda sporadically evolved in every capitol city in Australia.
The mass protests against the war on terror worried then Prime Minister John Howard so much as joining a US led coalition was the last thing any thinking minded Aussie wanted...
The demonstrations were silenced after October 12th 2002 when the Sari Club exploded vapourizing around 100 people instantly and leaving a bomb signature far more complicated than the accused patsies could have ever devised.
