Hasyim Muzadi, the chairman of Indonesia's largest Muslim organization Nahdlatul Ulama, said the group strongly opposed any U.S. attack on Iraq. "We totally oppose a U.S. attack on Iraq. What would it be based on? There's never been a clear argument from the United States, and even their allies oppose it," Muzadi was quoted by The Jakarta Post as saying on the sidelines of a seminar on terrorism in Jakarta. "If the U.S. strikes, they will lose significant value as a democratic country, and we will protest," he said. Nahdlatul Ulama is said to have some 40 million supporters across the archipelago.
See that over there, Hasyim? It's a chicken. It just came home to roost. If you spend all your waking days bitching and moaning about the USA in general, nobody cares what your opinion is when you bitch and moan about the specific. |
