Malaysia tells US not to push Iran to the wall
2005-09-28
Malaysia, which chairs the world’s biggest grouping of Muslim countries, urged the United States on Monday to be patient in dealing with Iran over its controversial nuclear programme. “Let us not put Iran to the wall. If you put Iran to the wall, we do not know what would be the effect,” Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said when answering a question at a US-Malaysia forum in Washington. He said the world would not want the Iranian nuclear issue to blow up into an Iraq-like conflict. “We have seen too much difficulty” with the US-led war in Iraq and “we do not want to see another situation where we are confronted with an open conflict which is difficult to manage subsequently,” Syed Hamid said. Malaysia is the current chair of the 57-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference and the 116-nation Non-Aligned Movement.

#10  Malaysia being so concerned with what their fellow muslim miscreants are doing in Thailand, also counsel patience there. How about: "Ummmm.....no"

#9  "We have seen too much difficulty"
AQ Khan gave the technology to Malaysia to manufacture the centrifuges needed to enrich Iranian nukes. They are obviously co-conspirators, even suggesting the world go to the gold standard after the collapse of the dollar in America. The Asians have all been buying lotsa gold lately. They were uncooperative with their neighbors when trying to police the shipping lanes, not allowing pursuit into their territorial waters. They've shown their true allegiances and should be considered when marking the coordinates for targeting Iran, eliminating any possibility that they will ever see anything again!

We know what the likely effect will be if we don't put them to the wall.

#5  I'd rather see Iran thrown to the ground and stomped on with Halliburton made jackboots. More crushing of dissent, please!

#3  Serious bluff. The money question: What happens if nothing is done to Iran to prevent nuke weapons?

Let's put Iran over the cliff.
