Mahathir Mohamad calls for Bush, Blair, Howard to be tried for war crimes

Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamed has called for the criminalisation of war. In an exclusive interview with Press TV's Roshan Muhammed Salih, he also called for western leaders, such as ex US president George Bush, ex British leader Tony Blair, and ex Australian leader John Howard, to be accountable for their actions. Dr Mahathir considers these leaders to be war criminals for their roles in the invasion of Iraq.

I thought that was a great interview. I lost respect for him after falsely jailing Anwar but asides from that one great leader. For those claiming he somehow robbed Malaysia, get your head out of your ass. He pushed Malaysia from a 3rd world mess into a vibrant and growing nation.

2 biggest Dictators in this century

tun at his best!miss your leadership!

I hate this guy with a passion, but even as an Australian, John Howad was so wrong to join Bush and Blair with this inhumane invasion. Though Mahathir makes this point, I still dislike him. Because of his rank human rights record, he can't articulate this point properly. He has no credibility and thus, cannot be taken seriously.

He should be given the Hypocrite & Busybody Awards...

@Capnwabbit he din't falsely jailing Anwar . You know , in Malaysia , the opposition always tell stupid shit things to the world without telling the truth.

Critical of people who do wrong things. Now, thats the right way to think.

I'm with him on that. America has got to get those war mongers out of political offices.

Ron Paul we need you now! Ralph Nader would do as well. Let's not forget about Dennis

the people who have the leadership qualities, always show themselves with the achivements for their own people and also for the world peace. great leaders like shah faisal, general ayub khan, bhutto, dr mahathir, hugo chavez, lolo of brazil , their achievements as leaders are not hidden from the world.

people who are criminals they will show their behaviour at times when power comes in thier hand which is clear from bush snr/jnr, tony blair, sarkozy, prevaiz mushraf etc..
