Malaysia's Accuses 'great Exponents of Democracy' of Terrorizing the World

By Irwan Firdaus Associated Press Writer

YOGYAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - Malaysia's outspoken prime minister launched a new verbal attack Wednesday on the "great exponents of democracy" for "terrorizing the world" after the Sept. 11 attacks. <snip>

"We see states launching vicious, massive retaliation, not just to kill suspected terrorists but (also) his family, his home, his village and his town," Mahathir said Wednesday in Yogyakarta, where he received an award for promoting engineering in Southeast Asia.
"It would be ridiculous to think that such attacks do not terrorize the innocent. In fact, the terror is even greater. It is systematic and executed with heavy weapons in the hands of trained soldiers," he said. <snip>

In the past, he has accused Bush of trying to "out-terrorize the terrorists" with an ill-directed war on the al-Qaida network and said Australia's Prime Minister John Howard behaved like a "white man sheriff in some black country."

Mahathir said Wednesday that after Sept. 11, 2001, "the great exponents and practitioners of democracy believe that the way to spread doctrine and to break down resistance is by terrorizing the world." <snip>

1. I believe he is correct in his conclusions
"the great exponents and practitioners of democracy believe that the way to spread doctrine and to break down resistance is by terrorizing the world." <snip>
They (Bush* Cabal) have repeatedly said they (rest of world) have to fear us. They rule by fear and they practice that everywhere including America. The rest of the world realizes these truths as well.

2. Practitioners of democracy terrorize the world, Mahathir exhorts
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad yesterday accused the "great exponents of democracy" of "terrorizing the world" after the September11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

Mahathir did not specify any country by name in a speech in this central Javanese town, but his comments appeared to be aimed at two of the outspoken leader's favorite targets, which include Australia, the United States and Israel.

I'm not sure who rules the world but I know it's not the 99.9% of the citizens.

I'm sure the entire world as a whole feels terrorized by Bush's America. From Germany, France, Canada, NZ to South America to the Middle East to Asia.

5. What does Mahathir know?
Edited on Wed Oct-22-03 10:58 PM by Jack Rabbit
He talks about the "great exponents of democracy" and then suggests that he means Bush.

What a moron! This is the second time in a week he's made a fool of himself.
