Anti-US protesters try to storm Asian meeting

Hundreds of anti-US protesters today broke through a protective police cordon and marched to the entrance of a convention centre in Kuala Lumpur where US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was meeting with other foreign ministers.

The protesters, mostly members of Malaysia’s ruling coalition and led by the prime minister’s son in law, raised their fists and chanted slogans against Washington’s backing of Israel in the Lebanon conflict.

“Dr Rice, I will not leave until you come out!” shouted Khairy Jamaluddin, the protest leader, as riot police held him back at the doorway to the convention centre.

“Israel is a wild beast. Israel is the Devil!” he shouted, demanding that a US representative meet him. Khairy, a British-educated investment banker, is the deputy leader of the youth wing of the United Malays National Organisation, the main component of the ruling Barisan National coalition.

Great, one by one, the countries of the world unite against us. I feel so sick.

I will never forgive these beasts for what they have done to our reputation.
