Was latham going to make university free?

How was the iraq war started over GREED?
That entire website is just stupid propaganda... all of the 'truths' are indeed themselves deceptive.
1. No, but he wasn't going to add a further 25% to University fees ($15,000 in my case). Maybe if Liberals had never got in, Uni would still be free like it should be instead of an elitist institution. Put it this way - because Liberals have got in, if I don't get a scholarship, I can't go to Uni.
2. University education may not concern you, but at this point in time it determines the rest of my life, and I feel pretty strongly about the possibility of not being able to go. As I'm sure many people would.
3. Iraq is not connected with terrorism, yet we invaded on that basis. A Preemptive attack. George Bush told his advisers to find a connection between Iraq and september 11 on the day of the attacks. They couldn't find anything so they made it up- all because they wanted control of their oil. They went against International Law which undermines the United Nations.
Do you really think this war is justified? 15,000 innocent people have died in Iraq - I am appalled at such senseless loss of life. Only 3,000 people died in September 11, which Iraq was not involved in. In fact the body count of children alone in Iraq is 3,000.
Here is a visual aid for the numerically and morally challenged:

4. The website shows direct quotes from John Howard, and the undeniable truth below it, which funnily enough, differs from John Howard's version of reality. I'd like to see you argue with any of the points made on that site.
Attached is a cartoon which I think accurately portrays our current world leaders.
