Malaysia: Reject First Strike doctrine
"Veteran Malaysian opposition leader Lim Kit Siang said today the Association of Southeast Asian Nations should collectively reject the pre-emptive strike doctrine adopted by US President George W Bush after the September 11 attacks and now being echoed by Howard."

Lim, in a statement, called the doctrine "a most dangerous form of state terrorism as it would make a nonsense of the UN Charter ... With such an idea, the line between self-defence and aggression becomes hopelessly blurred."
