Tim Blair: I WAS WRONG

That's alright, Tim. That's quite alright.

UPDATE: Don't underestimate the impact of the victory for Howard in Australia. It's a very big deal when you think about the fact that one of Kerry's few effective attacks on Bush has been to use anti-American sentiment abroad as an indication that we are virtually alone in the world.

Australia knows the right thing to do. Like us, she has orphans of terror. Her support and the degree to which it was shown is a big message to the American people. She's saying, "Don't go wobbly, George."
