US Criticised For Pre-Emptive Military Action

UNITED NATIONS -- World leaders criticized US President George W Bush's policy of "pre- emptive" military strikes and demanded that conflicts and global threats be resolved collectively by all nations.

It was the first time "world leaders" were meeting since the US went to war against Iraq without UN authorization. Posted by Editor at September 24, 2003 05:57 AM
