Ozbiggles, thanks for the smart arse yet totally pointless answer. I am still keen to know. Who are you afraid of and why.
My concern is that the weapons to be purchased by Australia are of an offensive nature and will be used when we are strong armed into attacking Iran, Syria, North Korea or whatever country next threatens the economic hemegony of uncle sam.
Like our efforts in Iraq, this will only increase our chances of being the target of violence.
I am worried that our purchase of offensive weapons will become a self fullfilling prophecy.
