AUSTRALIA, SHERIFF OF THE SEA

Greens Senator Bob Brown wants John Howard to prevent further Japanese criminal activity:

"The Japanese are not going to break international sea laws if there's another government looking on," he said.

"It's time John Howard got the gumption that this nation wants in our Antarctic waters to monitor the Japanese whaling slaughter and their breach of international sea-faring laws."

Funny how Brown has changed his tune since screaming at Bush, "We are not a sheriff". When it comes to policing, whales are more important than people, right? Let the Iraqis sort things out for themselves survival of the fittest style.
