I found it to be an absolutely wonderful, magical country willed with warm, friendly and generally delightful people. A visit to Australia is something that I would strongly recommend to all Americans for several reasons....it's VERY different in many fascinating ways from any other place on Earth, you will meet some of the nicest people you have ever met in your life, and you will be giving your hard-earned vacation dollars to a truly honorable nation that has fearlessly stood alongside us in the War On Terror. Many more reasons abound, and I'm sure other FReepers will be happy to fill in the blanks.
But then, that has little to do with the issue at hand.
Please don't worry....I'm not one of those "Stay On Topic!" Fascists. Your post is entirely relevant and entirely welcome :-)
I have another reason. Aussie girls parading around topless at Surfer's Paradise. Gorgeous, super-fit, blonde, friendly, party-loving.... And they make Muslims crazy with rage! What's not to like?
