Dark Clouds Hang Over Davos

DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - Boogeying poolside was out, bashing America was in at this year's Davos business summit as angst over war and recession drove out the traditional strut and swagger of the global elite.

The World Economic Forum's six-day annual meeting returned to the chic Swiss ski resort after decamping to New York last year for the first time in three decades to embrace a city still reeling from the September 11 suicide plane attacks.

But this year it was hard to hear a kind word about a United States now viewed with distrust and skepticism, especially over the superpower's threats of war against Iraq if it fails to come clean over any weapons of mass destruction.

"It's very worrying that the Americans could be prepared to act unilaterally. They are playing a very risky game," Simon Maxwell, head of Britain's Overseas Development Institute think tank, told Reuters, echoing a common theme in Davos.
