Follow the Leader

US Vice-President Cheney yesterday bravely told a veterans' group that America "will not relent" in its occupation of Iraq.

It's quite apropos considering Cheney himself could've been a veteran; that is, if he hadn't "better things to do" during Vietnam and hadn't applied for five deferments, and if he hadn't gotten his wife pregnant immediately after the military lifted its ban on drafting married men with no children.

But in his heart he was with the boys back then, just like he is with them today.
