    Australian Journal of Politics and History: Volume 53, Number 2, 2007, pp. 281-336. Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia July to December 2006 JOHN WANNA Australian National University and Griffith University Howard’s Divisive Style Comes to the Fore: Never Recant, Never Stand-down, Gradually Give Ground Questioned in late 2006 over the wisdom of invading Iraq, Prime Minister John Howard insisted he did not agree with those who went about “recanting everything they supported when they were in positions of authority”. He argued that […] in public life you take a position, and I think particularly of the decisions I have taken in the time I have been prime minister. I have to live with the consequences of those both now and into the future. And if I ever develop reservations, I hope I would have the grace to keep them to myself, because I think you take a position and you have got to live by that and be judged by it (Australian, 22 November 2006). His message was simple: if he had any personal reservations about invading Iraq he was not about to admit it or to say sorry. By late 2006, the Iraq occupation increasingly overshadowed the internal politics of both the US and the UK, but in Australia the quagmire of Iraq was a far less potent political factor. As one of the original “coalition of the willing”, Howard was implicated in the decision but had far less at stake than the other leaders and no list of casualties to inflict political pain. Moreover, the Labor opposition had not managed to turn the unpopular war into a political positive for itself.
