With just 26 days of petrol stockpiled, Iran's the alarm bell we need

It's not all about alliance management, of course. Australia also has significant sovereign interests in the Middle East.

We can and have made a capable contribution, and that's not nothing. But with our own region becoming increasingly competitive, the argument for taking precious assets from a theatre where we can make a decisive contribution to one where we can't needs to be all the stronger.

What complete and utter garbage. If people only knew the criminal extent of the United States of Israel's role in the middle East and how they've been creating, shaping and perpetuating conflicts for decades we wouldn't have to worry about these manufactured 'crisis'.
