Opinion on US from Down Under

An opinion column from Australia compares Obama with Bush and finds very little difference.

Details from the Australian.

"Those many Australians on the Left who see Bush as a horrible aberration and believe everything will return to a world of happy Clinton gooiness under a Democratic administration are in for a rude shock if Obama wins."

"What is most striking about Obama's cogent and persuasively written essay is just how hawkish it is. Indeed, with the exception of Iraq, large sections of it could have been written by Paul Wolfowitz, high priest of the Bush neo-conservatives."

"His words are almost indistinguishable from Bush's in saying that Americans must realise that their security is linked ever more to the security of people across the world."

I wonder if the Aussies have gone bonkers ... or if I know nothing about Obama.
