Howard picked on the wrong guy

In February 2007, Mr Howard was reported to have said that al-Qaeda should be "praying as many times as possible" for an Obama victory in the 2008 elections.

Howard, racially thinking Obama's chances are Nil, thought he could
slam Obama and win over Bush's heart (now voted the most unpopular president in the history of US).

For Bush, CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said "No president has ever had a higher disapproval rating in any CNN or Gallup poll; in fact, this is the first time that any president's disapproval rating has cracked the 70 percent mark".

Mr Howard banked on the wrong horse. Mr Obama has won the US elections in a land slide. Had Mr Howard remained as prime minister of Australia, we would have been in an embarrassing situation now, to say the least, with the new US administration.

Now, all leaders who called and pushed for the invasion of Iraq have all lost elections and history will remember them with bitterness. Bush will always be associated with war, bloodshed and the darkest times in American history.
