I have a few difficulties with this.

First, the 30th of June is a Wednesday. You know, in the middle of the week? When people who have actual jobs have to work?

Second, the war is already over. If you have been following the news on TV or in the papers, you may have missed this, but we won.

Third, the 30th of June is the day that Iraqi sovereignty is to be officially handed back to the Iraqis. Of course, this has already happened, but we'll let that slide for now. So I assume the date was chosen to make some sort of point, but I can't work out quite what.

Fourth, the Australian troops in Iraq are involved in the training of the new Iraqi Army and Police Force. You know, so Iraq will actually have an Army and a Police Force (as opposed to undifferentiated uniformed thugs) and won't, you know, need foreign soldiers to protect Iraqi citizens from attack.

So you want them brought back... Why, exactly?

Go on, tell me it's all about the oil. For old times' sake.
