I've been down the coast, nowhere near a phone line, apologies to the kids out there who count on my extraordinary insight.

I've managed to make it to the local library and snaffle a computer.

Australian embassy bomb target: ministers at odds

So, Howard's lucky escape/Digger's lucky escape/Iraqis not so lucky.

"Australia's ambassador to Iraq, Howard Brown, said the blast was aimed at the barracks housing members of Australia's 120 troops in the Iraqi capital."

The Gov't seem to be a little confused as to what their public position will be on this sort of stuff.

Is the new boogyman, Zarqawi, after Aussie interests? Perhaps not specifically Australian, more than likely Coalition Forces. Of which Australia comprises (of course, f*ckin' of course!)

It won't matter much to the Australian public.

Pity the Iraqis dying as a result of our presence.
