Malaysian media slam Aussie PM<\/p>\n
KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): Malaysia's opposition leader and a leading
\nprogovernment newspaper united on Tuesday in pouring scorn on
\nAustralian Prime Minister John Howard following his apparent
\nabout-turn on Canberra's regional policeman role.<\/p>\n
The New Straits Times said last week's disclosure in a
\nmagazine interview of a "Howard Doctrine" of playing deputy
\nsheriff to the United States in Asia was now "the doctrine that
\nnever was" following his clarification to parliament on Monday.<\/p>\n
"So this is just another blunder. The Howard Doctrine is now
\nHoward's Howler," an editorial said.<\/p>\n
It said Howard could encourage "psychopathic nationalists" if
\nhe tried to use the East Timor crisis to assume a greater
\nleadership role in Asia.<\/p>",
