We are not prepared for war Mr Howard

With John Howard making threats to many countries and invading a couple it's time Mr Howard started preparing this country for war as with so many enemies we will be attacked, it's just how long or short a time we have to prepare.

Some of the area's that are ignored and these are just from memory, growing up in a small family business.

• Communications - With a power loss most communications will fail in this day and age. Even the majority of telephones these days require a power outlet to run. We need phones in a time of war that will run off the phone lines power.
• Shopping - Again these days the vast majority of food and fuel outlets have registers that will not run without a power supply. People will still need to eat and to function as a society we will still need to be able to financially transact, cash registers will need to be provided to esential supply organisation that operate without power for extended periods.
• Cold Food Stuffs - There will need to be back up power supplies for refrigerators and the like. Or large reserves of ice.
  
• Fuel Outlets - Petrol Stations used to always have a way to pump fuel without power, and there were even still a few around in the 70's there, if people can't get access to fuel there will be a major disintergration and rebuilding of our society.

There are far more issues than that, including if our water supplies are attacked at the present time we are very vulnearable in that area too! But it looks as though the major target would be electricity supplies as we are so dependant on them for communication in this day and age so major emphasis should first be made to protect the power supplies. Or Mr Howard should pull his head in and stop leading the charge to war, that might help to not be such a target! And pray for salvation as a nation.
