Australian PM Howard Defends U.S.

The Australian Prime Minister, John Howard lashed out at "old Europe", describing criticism of the U.S. as "unfair and irrational", as global tensions grow over the Iraq war and free trade.


During a vigorous panel debate on U.S. global relations at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, several European officials attacked President George W. Bush's Iraq policy, but Mr Howard stood up to defend his ally.


Good on ‘em!
