Living in Australia I happen to know a few other people who also live here. Occasionally I'll speak to them. I've you to speak to anyone here who's appreciative of the way our government relates to the US
One of our prime ministers once referred to Australia as "the arse end of the world". Seems more like the US is the arsehole of the world and they've got us (and others like the UK) puckering up
I really detest the way our politicians, from both sides, grovel to and fawn over the US. The reaction of Gillard (our current PM) to Obama's recent visit was just downright embarrassing. But what can we do? I wish we were more like the NZ of old who told the US Navy where to go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANZUS#New_Zealand_bans_nuclear_... (very much watered down account. it was a huge political rebuff to the US at the time)
