Mathematically, yes, it was the right thing to do.

I believe...well, I'm on the fence on this. I didn't really care about it....and I still don't, shit happens. But...if this were to happen today, we'd be fucked....to put it nice and simply.

I really think Australia and New Zealand were only concerned with out safety. Yes....we got bombed, if you didn't know that. Darwin got bombed...but no one cares about them, Japanese subs got into the Sydney Harbour.....what else? Oh yeah, Kakoda, we had to save our arses by fighting in a jungle....

Damn...just realised, Australia has had a sucky military history....Gollipoli was a defining moment for all the wrong things....

But, back to the point, yes it was right, I think...for the good of the world. But....morally, I'm not sure. I'm not pro-war but I'm not pro-peace either. You can't have one without the other...
