We have now officially set ourselves up for terrorist attacks. We have, in effect written an open invitation to the Taliban and other terrorist organisations to pay us a visit.
Ok, so we used to be pretty well far removed from the horror that other nations live with on a daily basis, not now!
What will be the first to go?
The harbour bridge?
The Opera House?
Parliament House

(that could be a good thing)
A crowded train taking children to school?
I suppose some people are happy, I can't imagine why.

AUSTRALIA TO OVERSEE TALIBAN, IRAN SANCTIONSAustralia has been appointed to chair the UN Security Council committees overseeing the international sanctions regimes against Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and Iran.
Foreign Minister Bob Carr says the role, which comes after Australia won a seat on the Security Council last year, is a reflection of Australia's diplomatic standing on the world stage.
Australia will also be vice-chair for the sanctions committees on the Sudan, the Ivory Coast and Lebanon.
"This is a vote of confidence in Australia," Senator Carr said.
"It shows that the Security Council, including particularly its five permanent members, have got a fair bit of confidence in Australia's diplomatic pull, and in particular in the area of anti-terrorism.
"Our role on the committee will be to determine which individuals or entities are subject to Al Qaeda or Taliban sanctions.
