Australian Public Doesn't Favor Protecting but Does Favor Protection

Poll: Australia against Taiwan war:
    Australians are against following the United States into a war with China over Taiwan, according to a new poll on Australian attitudes.

    But the same number who oppose involvement in such a war -- 72 percent -- think Australia's alliance with the United States is important for Australia's security.
Hey, don't get me wrong, I am against a war over Taiwan, too. Ideally, this situation will be resolved peacefully as mainland China allows Taiwanese independence or Taiwan elects to rejoin a free mainland China.

I find it shortsighted and self-serving that the Australian public won't protect a free people from an aggressive and militaristic foe, but that the Australians would certainly expect us to jump in to save them from the same aggressive and militaristic foe. But that's modern Western thought for you.
