Another Country Heard From: Australia and the SAS

Never heard of the SAS? That's not surprising, if you're an American.

The Australian Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) is a little like America's Special Forces, sort of. "Australian Special Air Service Regiment (SAS): Strengthening the Alliance" American Interests (February 26, 2008) gives a very good look at this military outfit.

I think it's a good idea to remember how much depended on Australia, and dozens of other nations, back when America was "going it alone" in Iraq.
