US role in Middle East vilified at emergency meeting of Islamic countries: "The UN should be given a central role in Iraq as soon as possible, to avert a slide into greater anarchy and halt the US-led forces' 'sheer disregard' for civilians and holy sites, an emergency meeting of Muslim states in Kuala Lumpur declared yesterday.
The Organisation of Islamic Conferences also condemned Washington for supporting Israel's latest Palestinian initiative.
The Malaysian prime minister, Abdullah Badawi, who is the OIC's current chairman, said George Bush's abandonment of the road map to peace could "wreck the entire peace process in the Middle East"."
