| Cabinet must halt march to Iraq: Aussie Democrats |
| 2003-03-17 |
| Democrats leader Andrew Bartlett has accused Prime Minister John Howard of allowing others to decide whether Australia will join possible war against Iraq. "It is clearly the case that Australia's participation has been decided by other countries — the UK, the US and Spain — in the middle of the Atlantic on the other side of the world," he said. "The Democrats call on Cabinet members who are meeting this evening to finally show some backbone, stand up in the interests of the Australian people and the Australian troops, and tell Mr Howard to back off, to follow international law." Sure seems like Mr. Howard made the decision for Australia to fight, and not the US/UK. |

| #4 Seems Howard might be in the ICC dock for "war crimes." |

| #3 The ICC will be the next phony org to fall. I will have to give Russia and China the credit for basic common sense avoiding signing on the dotted line for that sell out of national sovereignty. |
