IN AUSTRALIA, John Howard has conceded. Here’s a big roundup.

UPDATE: An observation: “Bush is now a rare survivor of the pre-9/11 western leaders’ club. Of his allies and opponents on the Iraq war, the latter have gone – Schroder, Chretien, Chirac – but so have the former – Aznar, Blair, Howard.” Well, a lot of time has passed, and Howard, like Blair, was in office well before Bush.
