BY JAMES TARANTO Monday, October 18, 2004 1:58 p.m. EDT Foreign Leaders Take Sides If you think the Jews rule the world by proxy, vote for John Kerry. Such would seem to be the message from Mahathir Mohammad, the former Malaysian prime minister (and former Enron adviser Paul Krugman's favorite anti-Semite), who "has appealed to American Muslims not to vote for George Bush on November 2," according to the Daily Times of Pakistan. In "an open letter sent to the community," Mahathir writes that "Bush has shown . . . he is the cause of the tragedies in Afghanistan, Palestine and Iraq." Also hoping for a Kerry win: Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority. Reports the Jerusalem Post: The Palestinian Authority made its first open statement Monday expressing support for US democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. PA Foreign Minister Nabil Sha'ath said that the future of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process is unsure if George W. Bush is re-elected to office. Not all foreign leaders are pro-Kerry, however. "Russian President Vladimir Putin says terrorist attacks in Iraq are aimed at preventing the re-election of U.S. President George W. Bush and that a Bush defeat 'could lead to the spread of terrorism to other parts of the world,' " CNN reports: "International terrorists have set as their goal inflicting the maximum damage to Bush, to prevent his election to a second term. "If they succeed in doing that, they will celebrate a victory over America and over the entire anti-terror coalition," Putin said. "In that case, this would give an additional impulse to international terrorists and to their activities, and could lead to the spread of terrorism to other parts of the world." And Kerry is coming in for criticism from an unlikely source. "The commander of the UN peacekeepers in Haiti has linked a recent upsurge in violence there to comments made by the US presidential candidate, John Kerry," the BBC reports. Kerry had said he would have sent in U.S. troops to reinstall Jean-Bertrand Aristide's thuggish left-wing government. "The Brazilian UN general, Augusto Heleno, said Mr Kerry's comments had offered 'hope' to Aristide supporters. Much of the recent unrest has centred on areas loyal to Mr Aristide." More than 50 people have been killed in the violence.
