One hundred and fourteen nations begin a conference in Kuala Lumpur tomorrow, preparing to deliver a resounding 'No' to a US-led war o­n Iraq.

Most of the countries grouped in the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) carry little clout of their own, but they hope their official voices will be heard alongside those of millions of ordinary people protesting the war around the world.

The NAM states are mostly poor and militarily weak, although two of them India and Pakistan are nuclear powers and another, North Korea, is believed to be able to produce nuclear weapons within months, if it doesn't have them already.

The others range from Afghanistan, with its new government installed courtesy of a US-led war, to Iraq itself, Washington's latest target in its military reaction to the Sept 11 terrorist attacks o­n the US.
