Quiet Advice

John at Marathon Pundit covers Australian PM John Howard's speech here:
"Without American leadership, the trials and tragedies of recent years could be but a prelude of darker days to come," Mr Howard said in an address yesterday to the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations. "With American leadership, we can build a better world — not just for us, but for all."

Sharpening his call for the US to play a greater role in global affairs, Mr Howard told the council: "To the voices of anti-Americanism around the world, to those who shout 'Yankee go home', let me offer some quiet advice: be careful what you wish for."
The only local coverage I saw was a pix of Mrs. Howard dedicating a foundation stone of the Sydney Opera House in the display at the Tribune tower.
