An Australian View of Australians

[Bob Potter]

And THIS is what separates us from the Third World: the ability to laugh at ourselves. I am more afraid of those who cannot laugh at themselves than I am of anybody else. Could you imagine what Saddam would do if Steve Martin did a send-up of him? No, better, John Cleese as Saddam? With the bloke who played Manuel in "Faulty Towers" as Tariq
Aziz?

A.B.: OK, we gave the stuff the Saddam, but not the 10,000 pounds of whatever it is nobody can account for. MY point was we have never used the stuff on anybody: he uses it on his own people.

I don't know. I think we should have banned the long bow. Then maybe we would not be where we are now.
