To his credit traitor Bush did not attend the funeral of fascist dictator Suharto whose record of tyranny far exceeded Saddam:
''Former Labor Party Prime Minister Paul Keating, who attended the funeral with Attorney General Robert McClelland, told the Australian that he warmly remembered Suharto as an
old friend. He dismissed the attention given to Suharto’s record on human rights and corruption as “missing the point”, adding as an aside that “the only point where that’s an issue is on [East] Timor* and on the PKI.” Keating declared,
... the emergence of Suharto’s New Order government as “the single most beneficial strategic development to have affected Australia and its region in the past 30 years.” ...
These apologetics are politically telling. For those who lived through this period or have studied it,
Suharto’s atrocities rank among the worst of the century. Just over a year ago, Saddam Hussein was found guilty in a rigged trial in US-occupied Iraq and executed for crimes that pale beside the bloodletting carried out by Suharto in the 1965 coup. The widow of ousted President Sukarno said of Suharto’s legacy: “He was Indonesia’s Pol Pot”

Because of this, the right wing has no complaint over people honoring Castro whose evils do not even begin to approach the political crimes of Suharto who was honored by some Westerners.
