Here is a letter I sent to The Australian that didn't get published.
The Editor
The Australian
The editorial (26/2) on Cheney's visit acknowledges that Bush and Cheney 'did not have a clue what to do next' after Saddam's removal. Instead of saying they still don't and chiding Cheney, it goes on to present him in a favourable light even when that glow includes nuclear possibilities in Iran. It is as if Greg Sheridanial took over and pasted in the tiresome pro Bush/Howard/Cheney sentiments from his Saturday Inquirer interview with the Vice President. The editorial says Mr Cheney is ' indefatigable' and we Aussies should be grateful. Zealous would be a better label and most Aussies now know the price for Cheney's and Bush's zealotry has been far too high. How amazing that this cut and paste editorial appeared opposite the more realistic article by C. Layne entitled Dick Cheney has led America Down the Road To Hell in Iraq.
