On Wednesday US Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns met with the new Deputy Prime Minister and ministers for defence and foreign affairs.
Did those discussions canvass America's desire to increase sanctions against Iran and did the new Rudd Government signal an agreement in principal with this course of action?
Australia has already been led down the garden path over the supposed threat posed by Iraq, with disastrous results.
Given that US intelligence reports that Iran abandoned its nuclear weapons program four years ago, surely Australia is not eager to continue obliging the Bush Administration's desire to bully the entire globe.
Being a friend to Bush's America is a rather dubious and dangerous state of affairs. It does nothing for Australia's international standing.
One hopes that the Rudd Government will be cautious with regard to any approach by the US relating to the Middle East issues.
