The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a frequent Democratic Party candidate for president and founder of the Rainbow Coalition, is bashing U.S. policy in Iraq during a conference in Greece.
Jackson told the conference on religions and cultures in Athens that the U.S. should remove American troops from Iraq and carry out a thorough investigation of human-rights violations in the war-torn country.
Jackson said Bush must "end the occupation of Iraq and return sovereignty to the Iraqis as quickly as possible in cooperation with the United Nations and Europe," according to a report in the Arab press ? the only international venue in which the remarks were recorded.
"The U.S. bias toward Israel and its support for (Ariel) Sharon's aggressive policies have obstructed peace and triggered violence and hate in the region," he said.
The conference was opened on Friday by Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis and includes some 80 religious leaders.
Karamanlis and other participants, including Dr. Hamid Al-Rifae, president of the World Islamic Forum for Dialogue, emphasized the importance of promoting religious and moral values to establish peace and stability all over the world, according to Arab News.
