I don't have any real problem with the US putting it's interests first - I am - like many others - just pissed off that OUR stupid wankers of Politicians are so easily bribed as to ALSO put U.S. interests ahead of Australian (or any other of their own country's) ones!

I have heard in news here that there was definitely no tank - just humvees (this misunderstanding could have been due to a translation glitch) - and I still don't know just what the hell that nasty looking object is on top of the nice Humvee piccie linked to above.
