"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I have listened to a great many sound proposals and seen that there is some convergence too. However, I have to say that, as long as the European banks accept terrorists’ deposits and increase their capital, we are not combating terrorism; as long as arms are sold to different countries (according to geopolitical interests) which accept the role of the askaris of one or other power in turn, we are not combating terrorism.
Madam President, I believe that, for as long as we talk about ‘war’ on a daily basis, peace will not be possible. The whole world is afraid because of the vehement statements – and I understand the emotions and the political situation – of the American President, whose reasons of State we acknowledge and for whom we express all our support and sympathy. However, we hope that the word ‘war’ will be targeted against very specific fringe members of the Arab world, for the Arab world as a whole does not deserve to be treated as criminal because of the criminal actions of a tiny, criminal minority of delinquents who are stateless because of their own intentional, senseless, barbaric lunacy."@en1
