Keep Cheney Away from U.S. Diplomacy?/ HuffPo

Keep Cheney Away from U.S. Diplomacy
Jeffrey Feldman

A Symbol of Everything Wrong With Bush Era, Cheney's Visit to Middle East Can Only Make Things Worse

Similar to Ariel Sharon's disastrous and oft-discussed visit to Jerusalem's Temple Mount (Sep 28, 2000) -- a symbolic slap in the face that led to an escalation in Middle East tension -- Dick Cheney's upcoming "diplomatic" visit to the Middle East will be nothing more than a provocation resulting in yet another explosion of violence. More Americans and more Iraqis will die as a result of his trip.

If the Bush administration was serious about saving lives, building U.S. credibility in the world, involving regional allies, and ending the Iraq occupation -- then they would put Dick Cheney back in his hidden location, lock the door from the outside and throw away the key.

Cheney should not be allowed anywhere near Middle East diplomacy. Any diplomatic effort that involves Dick Cheney will result in one thing and one thing only: more violence, more failure, more death.

Of all the people in the world, today, there is not a single person who symbolizes the arrogance, violence and deceit of the Bush era more than Vice President Dick Cheney.

1. Does anyone think common sense and reason will prevail here? Nope,
if Dickhead wants to go, he'll go.

He wants to check over them oil fields himself maybe.
