#1 Hurrah! Aussies to the rescue.

We are the true Allies: USA, UK, Australia! let none divide us.

#2 PS: those polls are distorted.

Though I wouldn't know the exact figures, I challenge that it was EVER 70% opposition.

SBS and the indy left media frequently inflated the numbers and gave very biased news reports.

A rally crowd I saw with my own eyes and estimated at tops 20,000 was inflated to 250,000 on the SBS nightly news.

The Sydney Morning Herald ran a blatant anti-war campaign to the extent that if anybody in our country actually understood the issues/history of the situation it would be a blooming miracle.

Yet still I'd say the silent majority backed the USA. When I challenged the socialists and argued in the streets, complete strangers and passers by would join in and support me. Ordinary people as opposed to hippies and innalek-shills

#3 ok, ratios -
250000 (US) and (67 + 16 + 7=90) ineffectives 90/250000 = .00036
40000 (UK) and (27) ineffectives = .000675

figure at .0005 (mid range and 2000 soldiers) you lose 1 guy. Didnt lose him yet, good job aussies!
