PM Howard in Asia:
"I was regarded as somebody who wouldn't comfortably deal with the countries of the region," Mr Howard said.Hmmnn, let's see.... Muslims in Malaysia and Indonesia hate us for the whole stupid war on whatever crapola, Fiji and PNG hates us for political, military and police interference, East Timor hates us for stealing their oil and abandoning them to the Indonesian Army, West Papuans hate us for similar reasons, Tongans are rioting as Australians get a military airlift to safety... Yep, it all looks very comfortable indeed.
"But I did."
