Alex, you're a fuckwit.

Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said today the government did not know whether threats of a terrorist attack in Indonesia's second largest city were linked to the war on Iraq.

Two things to be said here:

1) There's talk of a terrorist attack against westerners in an Islamic country at the same time that westerners are conducting their own attack on another Islamic country. I think we can say there's got to be some connection.

2) Why doesn't the government know? What are you doing to find out one way or the other? The foreign interests of this nation are in YOUR hands, Alex, and if there's a threat against them it'll be in your interests to get the fucking information...
