The Iraq crisis has overshadowed this year's hajj and feast...Sunni Muslim Grand Mufti of Lebanon Sheik Mohammed Rashid Kabbani delivered a scathing attack against an America he said was driven by ''mad interests, aspirations and ... the vanity of its power.''
''Iraq has been dying for a long time, dying a slow death,'' Kabbani said. ''They (Americans) place themselves above humanity and want to drag the whole world behind them. They want to impose their ideas, methods and ways of living.'' AP
