Our Greatest Ally?
 
Is Australia our most reliable ally? It's close between the country/continent and Britain:

 Australia will ignore threats of attack by a group saying it is the European wing of al Qaeda and blamed Spain and the Philippines for fueling the threats by giving in to terrorists and withdrawing troops from Iraq (news - web sites).

The Islamic Tawhid Group said in a statement posted on a Web site it would attack Italy and Australia with "columns of rigged cars" if they did not withdraw their troops from Iraq.
"We are still investigating the authenticity and relevance of that body, but we will not take any notice of threats of that kind," Prime Minister John Howard, a close ally of President Bush (news - web sites), told reporters in Sydney on Monday.
"We will not parlay and negotiate with terrorists and I believe the overwhelming majority of the Australian public will agree with us," said Howard, who sent 2,000 troops to the U.S.-led war on Iraq.
On Wednesday, the previously unheard of Islamic Tawhid Group also threatened Bulgaria and Poland if they did not leave Iraq.

Let's see how well it helps out the Phillipines and Spain. The Poles also take a nice smack at Michael Moore:

Michael Moore's contentious film Fahrenheit 9/11 has opened in Poland, with some film critics likening it to totalitarian propaganda.
Gazeta Wyborcza reviewer Jacek Szczerba called the film a "foul pamphlet".
He said it was too biased to be called a documentary and was similar to work by Nazi propaganda director Leni Riefenstahl.
But politicians opposed to Poland's involvement in the US-led occupation of Iraq have urged people to see the film.
"In criticising Moore, I have to admit that he has certain abilities - Leni Riefenstahl had them too," Mr Szczerba said in his review.
"Michael Moore will not convince Poles with his film," the Rzeczpospolita newspaper said in its review.

They should definitely know propaganda when they see it.
