U.S. businessmen bullish on Mahathir-Bush meeting (Malaysia backs US War on Terror)
However, whether people are fighting a noble cause or not, there are certain acts which they may not perpetrate. Exploding bombs in public places and killing innocent people cannot be accepted. Holding civilians to ransom or as hostages cannot be accepted. Poisoning food, medicine or water supply cannot be accepted. These are acts of terror and anyone committing these acts must be regarded as terrorist by everyone, irrespective of the cause they are fighting for, irrespective of their religion, race or creed. And once they are defined as terrorists it is the duty of everyone, every country, to hunt them down and bring them to justice.
--Mahathir Mohamad
Mahathir is a perfect example of why Israel's war is not identical to our war. Muslims are always going to be after Jews. We don't want all of them after us. Bush is building up a string of allies from Turkey to Qatar to Oman to Bahrain, to Pakistan to Malaysia. To the north some Muslim former Soviet Republics are allowing us to build airbases. We have excellent supply routes to box in Iran, Iraq and anyone else who gives us trouble. All thanks to Muslim allies.--everyone of which, except Turkey, is against Israel in one degree or another.
