What Blair and Bush have done is worse than what Saddam (Hussein) had done (America)

Do you agree with Dr. Mahathir?

No place for war criminals: Wars are nothing more than “legitimised terror.”

I agree with him that war is a crime against humanity, I agree that war is "legitimised terror," and I agree that we need an international tribunal to try war crimes.

However, he loses all credibility through his casual attitude towards tyranny and terrorism (which are also crimes against humanity), and though his public embrace of the entirely baseless and discredited claim that the terrorist attacks of 2001 were not terrorist attacks at all.

When good ideas are expounded by crackpots, it just undermines those good ideas.

He has not exactly said that 2001 attacks were not terrorist attacks. He was "influenced" by the American conpsiracists such as David Ray Griffin and others, and he questioned the towers collapsed. Meaning he could be one of the LIHOP advocates, which means that both the Arab terrorists and some US government elements are both terrorists.

He says, "I can believe that they (the United States) would kill 3,000 of their own to have an excuse to kill 650,000 Iraqis. These are the kind of people we are dealing with. Please don't think this is fiction."

And he may be right about whether they would do it, but they likelihood of their pulling it off so effectively is practically nil, and we're never given any convincing evidence that they did.

Okay, I guess I am wrong. Dr. Mahathir from that statement appeared to be more inclined towards MIHOP and not LIHOP.
