What a laugh Jay of Melbourne
That's good propaganda of Iranian state media

I laughed when I first read the exchange below on an American Religious forum, then I stopped. Mmm.

Ouch!

I fear that not only Sweden could cave in to pressure from the USA to extradite Julian Assange, but especially Australia, after hearing the comments of Julia Gillard.

Since 2001 the Australian government never has shown backbone as New-Zealand did, when refusing to join the coalition of the willing. They even accepted Hicks to rot in Guantamo Bay under conditions which breached the human rights grossly.

As Howard valued to be best mate with Bush to be more important than Australian citizen interests, the current government seems not to have an improved point of view, thinking that the ANZAC treaty has first priority, overruling Aussies rights of free speech, free opinion, protecting human rights and independent policies as soon as it interferes with US interests.
