Like i said early its about time that something was done and even better that force was used as it sends out a clear message to all the people smugglers. I only fear that this action will lead to condemnation from most countries though i did see that Helen Clark approved of John Howard's decision. (though she did say that NZ would do the same thing, i was wondering what with??)
It seems ridiculious and ironic that Kim Beazley is the one opposing this decision, i would have thought that as a former Defence Minister he would have been ecstatic at this decision, or do i have the wrong impression of Kim??
Unfortunately though, now that our troops are on board it does become our problem and now the illegal immigrants must come onto Australian soil. So either way they were getting on board, just by using the SAS sends a strong message. A message that is way overdue
