- - - - - How to Piss Off An Ally - - - - -

You want to make an ally especially peeved with you? See how John Kerry's younger sister is trying to do just that HERE.

Tell them that they're idiots to be allied with us - because going after terrorists makes you a target - like they didn't know that already.

Tell them that removing a murderous dictator makes you a target - like they didn't know that already.

Tell them that standing with an historic ally who has consistently stood with them makes them a target - like they didn't know that already.

Look, when the PRC decides to move on Taiwan, presuming that Taiwan falls, one of the major targets after that is going to be Australia. You don't think so? Look at the geography, and remember that the PRC likes to proclaim that they take the long view.

Diana Kerry, younger sister of the Democrat presidential candidate, told The Weekend Australian that the Bali bombing and the recent attack on the Australian embassy in Jakarta clearly showed the danger to Australians had increased.

"Australia has kept faith with the US and we are endangering the Australians now by this wanton disregard for international law and multilateral channels," she said, referring to the invasion of Iraq.

Asked if she believed the terrorist threat to Australians was now greater because of the support for Republican George W. Bush, Ms Kerry said: "The most recent attack was on the Australian embassy in Jakarta -- I would have to say that."
