U.S.A. - A Force of Goodness & Freedom
America a force of good in the world: Downer
Foreign Minister Alexander Downer and US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have touted their countries' strong ties and cooperation on Iraq and Iran.
Mr Downer also defended Washington's global role as he addressed a news conference alongside the chief US diplomat during a visit at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.
"Australia's alliance with the United States is the bedrock of our foreign policy," he said.
"We firmly believe that the US is a force of good in the world."
Dr Rice praised Australia's assistance in dealing with Iraq and Iran, which Washington accuses of pursuing a nuclear weapons program and of backing insurgents in Iraq. Iran denies both charges.
"We have the really very strong support of Australia," she said.
Unlike Washington, Canberra has diplomatic relations with the Islamic republic.

US issues nuclear warning to Iran as armada enters Gulf

The United States threatened new UN sanctions to punish Iran's nuclear drive as it ratcheted up tensions with the biggest display of naval power in the Gulf in years.
A bristling US armada led by two aircraft carriers steamed into waters near Iran for exercises Wednesday, hours before UN watchdogs said Iran was expanding its uranium enrichment program in defiance of international sanctions.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that Iran continues to enrich uranium -- which can provide fuel for civilian reactors but also make nuclear bombs.
That prompted warnings from US officials of further UN punishment unless Iran curtails its nuclear development -- which the Islamic republic insists is devoted to civilian energy.
"Iran is once again thumbing its nose at the international community," US Under Secretary of State Nicholas Burns said, even as US and Iranian envoys prepared for historic talks on Iraqi security in Baghdad next Monday.
Iran denied obstructing IAEA inspections, but White House national security spokesman Gordon Johndroe said the report by the United Nations atomic watchdog was damning.
The IAEA assessment "is a laundry list of Iran's continued defiance of the international community and shows that Iran's leaders are only furthering the isolation of the Iranian people," he said.
The US Navy said the Gulf exercises were not directed at Iran but Mustafa Alani, senior analyst with the UAE-based Gulf Research Center, said it was no coincidence the powerful flotilla arrived on the day of the IAEA report.

Beautiful graphics, 10men. It's nice the friendship that exists between us and the U.S. I read a really excellent article in the Australian today on the strong respect that they have in the U.S. for our Prime Minister. It's a pity the MSM lowlifes don't share the sentiment.
Yes we have much in common with the U.S. -Brothers in Arms...
The leftist/communist Labor party in Aust wants to lessen ties to America and strengthen ties to China.
The fact that John Howards reputation, achievements on a world scale, speaking out on islam etc in the U.S. is not relayed here is a direct result of the media bias.
Many in the U.S. only wish that their leaders would have the courage to say the things Howard says.
Even amnesty international has lost all cred in saying Howard = Magabe(spelling)?
Islam Is SO Devil Religion
Islam is so so so devil and dangerous religion in all world islam

(altawba 9: 29) )

( O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for these are a people without understanding. (alanfal 8:65)) and :
(The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;(almaida 5:33) )
