The tide may be turning within the US. The current Iraq policy is a shambles and the country is largely controlled by insurgents. George W. Bush is being challenged like never before and increasing number of senators want to discuss an exit strategy.
Prime Minister John Howard should be similarly challenged.
Next step is an international court of justice for the likes of Bush, Blair and Howard. They deserve little better than prison scraps.

Oh come on AL
Little Johnny got it wrong sending Australia into the Iraq war but suggesting that he go before an international court, presumably for war crimess, is a tad far fetched.
I understand that Australian forces have been paying considerable amounts (by Iraqi standards) of compensation money for the handful of Iraqi's injured by mistake by the Australian army.
I can't recall any lethal firefights Australians have been involved in.
As Howards main "crime" is backing Bush then putting Howard on trial will only accelerate the day when some worse Liberal (Abbott?) or bomber Beazley takes the PM posi and continues Australia's involvement.
Yes, Howard is far from alone, but until Western leaders, involved in illegal, unprovoked wars, are brought before international justice, the international system will not function properly.
And we are getting closer to that day.
