Let's read this part one more time: >>>The anti-Washington tone reached a crescendo when Mahathir bin Mohamad, the Malaysian prime minister, warned that US attempts to ?out-terrorise the terrorists? would lead to a protracted period of hatred, revenge and greed. Poverty and despair Mahathir suggested that suicide bombers and hijackers, such as those who attacked the US on September 11, 2001, were driven by poverty and despair. ?People do not tie bombs to their bodies or crash planes into buildings for the fun of it,? he said. "The weak have now hit back in the only way they can. Groping for the enemy, the strong hits out blindly in every direction, in every part of the world. Mahathir's comments came after the Swiss president, Pascal Couchepin, bluntly warned the US against taking unilateral military action against Iraq.<<< Folks, this is not a simple matter such as "read my lips." Rather, this is an extremely serious situation requiring complex consideration. Unfortunately, I don't think the Bush Admnistration has the capacity to think in a manner required to help make the world a safer place. Let's just cross our fingers and toes, anything we can find, and hope we all survive, with minimal damage to humanity, Bush's first and only term. I can't imagine anyone wanting to re-(s)elect this madness. Can you?
