FORMER MALAYSIAN PRIME MINISTER CALLS BUSH & BLAIR WORSE THAN SADDAM DAILY TIMES, PAKISTAN - Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad accused United States President George W Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair of being more evil and greater murderers than former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and the Sept 11 attackers. In a speech to inaugurate a three-day conference organized by his non-government organization, Perdana, and aimed at criminalizing war, he said: "History should remember Blair and Bush as the killers of children." . . . The former premier, in an hour-long speech that was illustrated by pictures of wounded children, deformed babies and tortured men, went on to describe terrorist attacks, such as those of 9/11, as weak people's retaliation against oppression by powerful countries, noting that the root cause of Islamist terrorism was the injustices of the West, especially in the Palestinian territories and Iraq. While stressing that terrorism could not be condoned, Mahatir stressed nor could the "cruel retaliation by powerful countries". He went on to say that while the 9/11 attackers had killed about 3,000 people ? the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had left approximately 600,000 dead. "The terror caused (by powerful countries) is actually greater, and the powerful countries are much more terrorists than the suicide bombers." On Wednesday, conference delegates are expected to formally launch the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission to hold "trials' for world leaders, including Bush and Blair, against whom common citizens file complaints. While the war tribunal will neither enjoy the legal authority of any international organization nor will be able to impose penalties, Mahatir, 81, stressed that its aim was to condemn the accused in history books. "We should not hang Blair if the tribunal finds him guilty, but he should always carry the label ?War Criminal, Killer of Children, Liar'," Mahathir said. "And so should Bush and the pocket Bush of the Bushland of Australia," he added, referring to Australian Prime Minister John Howard, a staunch ally in Washington's campaign against terrorism. . . dailytimes.com.pk
