the current Oz PM Kevin Rudd was active anti-Iraq & Afghan wars from the beginning but is now stuck with it. I think he's looking for a way out-he withdrew the troops in Iraq and left only army engineers etc to help with re-building.
As he still hovers around 70% approval rate after 2 years with his party around 60% everything he does is being well received.
