"I think it is time for us to say to the world if necessary
that we have been attacked, a war was initiated against us,
and we are going to defend ourselves, and we're not going to
let the decisions to do that, the manner in which we do it,
the targets we select to be decided by a show of hands by countries
whose interests cannot be identical to our own and who haven’t
suffered what we have suffered." Richard
Perle, October 2001 |

"Australia once had a reputation
as a strong supporter of the UN and the rule of international
law. Since the election of the Howard Government we have become
instead a leading player in the attempt to weaken several UN
conventions and have become the only Western government, other
than the US, that has refused to sign the Kyoto protocol. Our
policy over Iraq is best understood as part of this more general
retreat from internationalism." Robert
