			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After delivering a speech at the &#8220;General Conference for the Support of Al-Quds&#8221;, Mahathir Mohamad, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia <a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/1/21/nation/5516554&#038;sec=nation">shared his suspicions</a> that the 11&nbsp;September&nbsp;2001 attacks on the US were staged to provide &#8220;an excuse to mount attacks on the Muslim world&#8221; with a press&nbsp;conference:</p>
<blockquote><p>I am not sure now that Muslim terrorists carried out these attacks. There is evidence that the attacks were&nbsp;staged.</p>
<p>If they can make Avatar, they can make&nbsp;anything.</p></blockquote>
<p>Meanwhile <a href="http://www.monstersandcritics.com/news/americas/news/article_1527052.php/Chavez-insists-that-US-is-using-quake-to-occupy-Haiti">Hugo Chávez  has accused the United States of America</a> of using the recent earthquake in Haiti as an excuse to invade the latter&nbsp;country:</p>
<blockquote><p>Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez claimed Wednesday that the United States is using the devastating quake that hit Haiti last week to occupy the Caribbean&nbsp;nation.</p>
<p>&#8216;The United States government is using a humanitarian tragedy to militarily occupy Haiti. I read somewhere that they even occupied the government palace,&#8217; Chavez complained as he launched a cable car system for poor neighbourhoods in&nbsp;Caracas.</p>
<p>The left-wing populist Venezuelan, an outspoken critic of US policies, said the United States should be sending more doctors and medicine than&nbsp;soldiers.</p>
<p>&#8216;Cuba has more doctors in Haiti than the United States,&#8217; he&nbsp;said. </p></blockquote>
<p>Chávez is not alone. Other pseudo-Leftist representatives have made similar claims. <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hxPFjXRHzg1A1D9UuUAKhbd7j98A">Associated Press&nbsp;reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua&thinsp;&#8212;&thinsp;all three led by anti-US governments&thinsp;&#8212;&thinsp;claimed Washington was using the international relief operation in Haiti as cover for a military&nbsp;takeover.</p></blockquote>
