Free Trade Agreement and it's implications

Powell urges Latham to drop Iraq troop deadline. 10/06/2004. ABC News Online: "Mr Powell has increased the pressure on Opposition leader Mark Latham to reverse Labor's Christmas troop withdrawal deadline, particularly after this week's United Nation's resolution to formally end the occupation of Iraq at the end of this month.

Mr Powell has told ABC TV's Insiders program that if Labor wins the federal election, and Australian troops leave Iraq, it would be a political disaster for the alliance between the US and Australia."

Is this what the Austrlian electorate signed up for when they cast their ballots in 2000?
