Support our Leaders in the War on Terror

Clearly many people who have an interest in Defence matters do support our Prime Minister, President Bush and Israel. As well Winston Churchill and Ronald Reagan are very popular as well. Two books I will mention today worth reading for Australians are in the context of this and especially when Churchill was going it alone similar to what President Bush has been doing. Though he has had broad support for his efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, countries such as Spain (which didn't even show up in World War II due to its internal conflict with Fascism and Communism) have pulled out and been the target of terrorist acts.
Kokoda by Peter Fitzsimmons is an essential read though it is excellent reading all the way through. Get it if you want to know the bravery of Australians in battle, and why we deserve a suitable Air Force. This leads me on to the next book by David Day from the same time period, The Politics of War. Apart from Winston Churchill's 6 volume series on World War II, this book is probably essential for the Australian perspective as Churchill wrote from the big picture and Britain's perspective.


The web site Aussies4ANZUS should be visited by all Australians concerned with our Security, our alliance with the US and basically supporters of Australia.

Another great web site I like (Little Green Footballs deserves a mention) is Michelle Malkin, a hot Japanese American labelled a 'right winger' by those on the left who howl at her so called 'harsh' comments. Ann Coulter is far more out there but worth the humour. Ann is brilliant with her political articles on her site and the books she has written, including the great ones on Slick Willy being exposed for his Lewinsky moments!

Basically I don't have much time for the 'MainStreamMedia' known as the MSM, and that is why web sites like Camera and Honestreporting along with Frontpagemag are on my regular visit list.
