You know, I've always had a soft spot for Australia's John Howard. Perhaps its his hairline, similar to mine, but there's more to this prime minister than what isn't on top of his head.
From Australia's The Age:
No global challenge could be secured without American power and purpose, Prime Howard John Howard has declared in a vigorous defence of the role played by the US since the September 11 terrorist attacks.
"Without American leadership, the trials and tragedies of recent years could be but a prelude of darker days to come," Mr Howard said in an address yesterday to the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations. "With American leadership, we can build a better world — not just for us, but for all."
Sharpening his call for the US to play a greater role in global affairs, Mr Howard told the council: "To the voices of anti-Americanism around the world, to those who shout 'Yankee go home', let me offer some quiet advice: be careful what you wish for."
That speech took place in Chicago yesterday. Interestingly, neither of the two major dailies in Chicago, the Tribune or the Sun-Times, had a story about John Howard's visit to the city. They're too busy covering tomorrow's release of The Da Vinci Code movie, I guess.
