Australia breaks with Bush on Iran.

Australia, a loyal ally in President Bush’s war in Iraq, suggested today that it would not follow the U.S. in potentially using military force against Iran. “The American position is that they just don’t rule in or rule out the military option,” said Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer. “(W)e are not planning to get involved in any military action against anybody.”

8. My Cousin was just in from Aus. and when I commented that

I didn't like that Australia is supporting *, I was told that things have changed
that Australian citizens and their government are not in support anymore.

That was last month. Sounds like it is so.
