lpv:translated text	". Afghanistan is a sort of Switzerland. In every valley the people determine their often stubborn points-of-view and they do not appreciate outside interference. Over the last twenty-five years, ideologues from Russia, Saudi Arabia and now the US have wanted to try out their various experiments on Afghan society. This has mainly resulted in death and destruction. The latest intervention was not so much aimed at helping to solve the many problems that exist in Afghanistan, but to avenge the destruction of two office towers in New York a year ago. Whether this dreadful attack was devised from within Afghanistan has never been proven, but the American response was that the established regime there had to be punished and ousted. Just as they now also want to oust the Iraqi regime. In a world in which there is only one big military and economic superpower left, will the national government of another country only be legitimate from now on if it is well-disposed towards America and acts in line with American interests? The resolution falls between two stools. On the one hand, it justifies the war and the continuing military presence. On the other hand, it is looking at the war crimes of the victors and the need to investigate and punish for the first time. The latter is new, and is a step forward compared with earlier attitudes. In the light of this improvement, I am voting in favour of the resolution."@en1
