Howard will be judged incredibly harshly by history. He'll be remembered as a spineless leader of an American client state that invaded two countries illegally and without question and perhaps more importantly as someone that fostered the incredibly racist nature of modern Australian society.
And before Bazal chimes in and says that I'm just saying what I think and not what will happen historically think of this. On what social issue has the world ever become more conservative on over history? Slavery? No. Indigenous Issues? No. Religion? No. Immigration? No. Democracy? No. Women's Rights? No. Most people even kind of understand that war is unacceptable.
Meh. He was a lot better than anyone since, and to blame him for the fact that racism still exists in Australia is patently ridiculous. But at the end of the day you and I differ politically, and I find political discussion boring after about 45 seconds so I'll just nurse this hangover instead.
