VIENNA, Austria - Austrian far-rightist Joerg Haider accused U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair of being "war criminals" who violated international law by striking Iraq).
In an interview for Wednesday's issue of the Austrian weekly magazine News, the former Freedom Party leader also renewed an offer to give Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri refuge in Haider's home in the southwestern province of Carinthia, where he is governor.
Haider, who made two controversial visits to Iraq last year and reportedly met with Saddam Hussein, has spoken out harshly and repeatedly against the U.S.-led war.
Bush and Blair, he said, "are war criminals because they violated international law" by invading Iraq without U.N. approval.
Haider stepped down as Freedom Party leader after his party joined the Austrian government in 2000. His praise of some of Adolf Hitler's policies led the European Union to impose temporary sanctions on Austria.
The party remains a partner in the coalition government, but with greatly diminished influence and shrinking support.

Nazis are known to make comments such as these... They can't stand that the Jews are not currently being exterminated.

Haider doesn't give a damn about international law. He is simply an anti-semite. It's really too bad, as Haider's Freedom Party does advocate Austria's admission into NATO and a free market ideology that is desperately needed in Austria. I guess his anti-semitism trumps everything else.

"Haider, who made two controversial visits to Iraq last year..."
Why were they controversial visits? We recently had a gaggle of US demonrat congresspersons there plus Dan Blather!

I guess his anti-semitism trumps everything else. Yes, this war has made the anti-Semites make some strange alliances. Reminds me of how Patrick J Buchanon had alligned himself with the far Left against this Unjust war of Agression and Oil too.
Its just hard for us normal humans to relate to people who hate the Jooz so much as to sacrafice any other principles.
