Up here for thinking, mate: As our governments press on to wage war on Iraq, the head of ASIO (that's essentially Australia's equivalent of MI5/the CIA) warns that a war in Iraq would help al-Qaeda to launch more terrorist attacks. That's right; rather than trying to hunt down or contain the terrorists we know had a hand in killing over 3,000 of us, we're going on an adventure to settle the Bush family's scores and get cheaper petrol for our SUVs, whilst giving them more opportunities to strike again. Mind you, it may well be that more al-Qaeda terrorist attacks are just what's needed to win Bush a second term in office and secure the passage of the Patriot II bill in the US. After all, the public are starting to think that questioning isn't necessarily disloyal.

What is this half-baked traitor on about? We need a war in Iraq!

It's entirely obvious that bombing the crap out of an innocent civilian population will not “radicalise” moderates or provide any propaganda for extremists. It is a clearly responsible move that will have no role in spawning future generations of terrorists and suicide bombers with real, immediate grievances against the US and its cretinous allies (like us).

Ignore the naysayers and press on, I say!
