The Australian's commissars

11 January 2007

“Bush accused Iran of providing material assistance for attacks on US troops in Iraq. It is hard to imagine a more serious accusation.”

Oh, I can imagine two:

1. An Australian media commissar* helps shape public opinion in support of a US invasion of an Islamic nation, in breach of international law.

2. The US President orders said invasion: an estimated 655,000 civilians die horrible deaths.

That wasn’t hard to imagine.
