"“No stupid rules of engagement, no nation-building quagmire, no
democracy-building exercise, no politically correct wars.” This, from the
United States’ secretary of war, is the conflict to which Australia now finds
itself bound.

It is a war rapidly spiralling out of anyone’s control, escalating in scope and
geographic spread. It is one Australia – despite government sophistry – has
already been dragged into.

This week has shown yet again how deadly it is to be America’s enemy, but also
how very hard it is to be America’s friend."
