In response to Australian foreign policy is in the doldrums

Avoiding the maelstrom of America's death throes

Allan Patience is spot on in this article. With the American Government fighting internecine battles against its justice, educational and economic systems, the US is imploding.

To avoid being caught up in its death throes we must develop an independent foreign policy. It’s time we left the false security of Uncle Sam and lit out on our own.
