mahatir - what a load of cr@p!, page-12

Collateral damage my foot.

And linking it to the Israeli issue is an after thought excuse.

The Palestinians themselves claim that "Bin Ladin discovered the Palestinian issue only afterSept 11.

I suppose Mahatir will blame the Indonesian atrocities in E Timor as collateral damage and an expression of Solidarity with the Palestinians?

The Bali bombers wouldn't even know where Israel is on a map. Firstly their maps don't have Israel on it full stop.

Secondly, they would not have a clue about the complex issues involved.

It was no colateral damage. It was outright planned murder to cause mayhem to Westerners particularly Australians.

Any other reason that is now conveniently expressed, are dredged up excuses.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Dredged up excuses for terrorism.
