Kevin Rudd, errand boy and hypocrite

The Australian PM and U.S. errand boy, Kevin Rudd, very un-diplomatically took the American position on Tibet while on an official visit to China. It seems our pipsqueak leader has forgotten his primary responsibility of promoting and pursuing Australian interests. Daddy America came first with Howard and Rudd is nothing if not a Howard clone. Our Kevin is running the same slavish course set by Howard.

Rudd insulting his Chinese hosts

Anyone who is even moderately familiar with Asian sensibilities realises how insulting Rudd’s behaviour is to the Chinese – a guest simply does not insult his host in public, a fact not lost on a former diplomat. But George W Bush comes first! According to Rudd and his senior ministers, the new ‘Aussie’ oath of allegiance would go something like, ‘I honour my God; I serve America and I salute my master, George dubya Bush!’ [Excuse me while I spew!]

I have often been accused of being harsh and coarse – well, I’m a fuckin Aussie rough, a traditionalist, not a despicable lackey or stinking hypocrite. The contempt Rudd displays toward our largest trading partner is only exceeded by the contempt Rudd -- and his ministers -- display toward the Australian population.

Australia, unlike America, is a highly literate and informed nation; its people are extremely familiar with the civilian death toll in Iraq and the illegal invasion based on lies! With over one million dead innocent civilians and four million displaced persons, NOT A BLOODY PEEP ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS IN RELATION TO IRAQ! It seems our servile leaders, in their frantic efforts to please Bush, have lost sight of the OBVIOUS HOLOCAUST IN IRAQ!

It is unacceptable for any human being to be treated inhumanely but if we are comparing by degree then the injustices suffered by Tibetans pale compared to those suffered by Iraqis.

So let’s hear it for Iraq, shall we? You bunch of stinking, servile, hypocrites!
