STOP OR WE'LL THREATEN TO SHOOT


I haven't had much to say about Kevin Rudd -- for one thing, my routine has changed so I've got much less time for blogging -- but he deserves to be ridiculed for proposing a high seas confrontation with Japan over whales:

Federal Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd has defended Labor's plan to intercept Japanese whaling vessels after the Government said the idea was doomed to fail.

Under Labor's plan, unveiled yesterday, Australian Navy ships would be sent to intercept and board whaling vessels in the Southern Ocean.

If the Japanese choose not to stop and be boarded, then what?

And what if the Japanese side with activists who oppose the proposed Canberra kangaroo cull? Surely Mr Rudd wouldn't object to a Rising Sun airborne assault aimed at disarming the cruel kangaroo shooters.
