The New South Wales (Sydney) riot squad have been placed on full alert pending the arrival in Australia in a few hours of Dick Cheney. There have been massive riots already outside the US embassy ... and he isn't even here yet. If this is what residents of the US's closest ally thinks of him and the war, is it any wonder why so many countries are appearing anti-American and anti-Iraq war of late?

Anti-Cheney protesters clash with police
Protesters demonstrating against US Vice-President Dick Cheney's Australian visit have clashed with police outside Sydney's Town Hall.

Mr Cheney is expected to arrive in Sydney late Thursday and will leave on Sunday following talks with the federal government, the opposition, and other engagements.

Police attempting to prevent the protesters from marching down George Street scuffled with dozens of the demonstrators.

A wall of officers, including mounted police, were attempting to push the crowd away from the roadway and into Town Hall Square.
