Once again, the Left is outraged that the federal Labor government hasn’t condemned the U.S. bombing of Iran with sufficient fury. And once again, the Right is incensed that it didn’t cheerlead the strike quickly enough. Remarkably, both sides are still wrong, just as they were

Former Chief of Army Staff Gen. M. M. Naravane (Retd.) must be applauded for the very thought-provoking article of his that has just appeared. His analysis is sharp and pointed but most of all his courage in speaking out exposes the drumbeaters and cheerleaders of the PM.
