Non-Aligned meet, platform for attacks on U.S.

Many of the leaders of more than 100 non-aligned countries meeting in Malaysia this week are using the opportunity to attack the U.S.

The Non-Aligned Movement, which represents more than two-thirds of the world’s population, includes all the Arab states, Iran, Pakistan and many African nations.

A large number of speakers at the main event in Kuala Lumpur, and at fringe meetings and in media interviews are attacking the U.S., suggesting it is only interested in world dominance.

There has been almost wall-to-wall opposition to U.S.-led plans for a strike against Iraq, although many are calling on Saddam Hussein to fulfill the demands of UN Resolution 1441, and destroy any non-approved weaponry.
