America v's Australia War?
If it ever happened which it more than likely will not, I think it would be harder than Iraq for the USA to invade.
Think it would be a good even fight to be honest, due to well trained aussie soldiers and to australia's large size. What do you think?

Actually I don't like to think about this kind of thing because I'm getting ready to move out there. I do think however it would be just the type of thing America would do to feed it's endless thirst for global domination. After all, in the board game Risk you did recieve 2 bonus armies for controlling Australia and the Siam/Philippine reigon.

If size matters -
Australia has --- America has
51,800 soldiers --- 1,427,000
886 planes --- 10,000+ nuclear weapon
113 ASLAV --- 500 cruise missiles
103 tanks --- 320 Tomahawk missiles
385 artillery --- 850 n. gravity bombs
-- 15 subs w/nuclear weapons
-- 4285 tanks
Well you get the picture - anyone that out manned & with so little artillery would be hard pressed to win against the only recognized superpower. ( or so says the UN ) I think it would be a complete air attack, although our Army has a great Mountain Division & a Desert Division too!
No reason for war unless you attack.

I don't know about through war, but I have an Australian friend who suggests that the US buy Australia for the price of $1,000,000 per Australia citizen. Then all Australians would get automatic US citizenship and the US could use Australia to test nukes and so on. If the US used the desert in Australia to dump all its sewerage waste that it doesn't have room to handle itself, eventually, the desert would become inhabitable. Sounds like an plan to me.

Yeah, I think that it would be hard to technically invade in the first place. Like several Aussie commandos could take out the American govt eventually, but then aussie intelligence would be knocked out by US stealth. And then, to actually claim the country would be the hardest thing. I think it would end in a stalemate, where both coutries are left in ruin.

john howard wants to be bush's lover...
It would be a good fight but as i dont think of america as a threat - as we are not terrsrist and we get on together quite well -
its hard to think of an outcome, as i dont want to see us causing a death toll to eachothers people...
I would atleast suggest they take it out in the dessert, atleast there wont be civilian casualties.
would america have the numbers??
Also we are still apart of england...england and america are best friends... what would happen there??
arrggh we're screwed.
