Signalling just how much damage has been done to our relations with Asia, John Howard's calls for clemency for Van Nguyen have been ignored. The Singaporean Prime Minister did'nt even extend the courtesy of letting Howard know the date for hanging had been fixed and had been communicated to Mrs Nguyen by 'special delivery' post. This is the downside of a decade of unilateralism, chest-beating and downright arrogance. Australians are all the poorer for the limited capacity of this man and his government.
