For me he's not foreign, but I like John Howard, Prime Minister of Australia. Like George W, he's facing a tough election later this year. His opposition is the Australian Labor Party's (ALP) Mark Latham, a foul-mouthed socialist from the outer fringe of Sydney.
Aussie elections tend to be close in the federal arena, and this one will be a cliff-hanger. Latham's main election promise so far is to cut and run from Iraq, the same way Spain did. If that happens, most Australians will be ashamed. I did not personally agree with starting the Iraq war, although I hated Saddam. However, now that we are there we need to stay the distance and help the common Iraqi people, who just want to live in peace.
