The Australian Green Party attributes

The Australian Green Party attributes its victory in a recent by-election to its strong stand against Australian participation in any war in Iraq. But Prime Minister John Howard is undeterred: “I can’t understand how anybody could argue that you can respond adequately, in the name of the scores of Australians who were killed in Bali, without being part of the worldwide war against terror.” Or, as he put it more bluntly to the father of one of the Bali victims: “We’ll get the bastards who did this.”
