John Howard has just announced victory in the Australian election, and even picked up some seats in Parliament. We can hope that this is a harbinger of victory for Bush here in the states; it's certainly an indication that a lot of Australians understand what's at stake in the War on Terror, and that they support the Coalition of the Coerced and Bribed Willing.

With this news and that of Kenneth Bigley's murder, please keep our allies in your prayers. I'm unspeakably grateful that there are people around the world who understand what's going on.

Speaking of which, here's an impassioned piece by Silent Running (via My Pet Jawa) that I hope a lot of people read. There's a perception around the world that we in America are fierce in defending freedom, and have told the jihadists that we will destroy Mecca if they target New York or London or Sydney with WMDs. But I look at the polls, and I don't feel fierce: I'm just afraid. Afraid that there are an awful lot of people out there who simply don't get it.
