When you go on Fox business and don't have a clue about how George Bush allowed 9/11 according to the PNAC directive in 2000 placed on their website calling for a new Pearl Harbor, you embarrass your nation. Not that Americans are very smart either.

Just remember you are very fortunate John Howard to be next to China and full of natural resources. Without that advantage your banks would have been clobbered by the off balance sheet banking that came from Basel 2. You allowed that off balance banking to come to Australia and severely weakened your banks, but you had China to make it all better.

Just remember, America didn't pull you out of this mess.
