"The panic caused by 11 September 2001 has still not died down. Fear of terrorism has led to decisions which, under normal circumstances, would only be supported by a minority of this Parliament. Although EU Member States are more restrained than America with regard to preventive warfare and more prepared to make payments to Developing World countries, we are still significantly affected by the short-sighted policies of Bush junior. In preparing this resolution, the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy has made gains from the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs, and the Christian Democrats and Liberals have been able to largely impose their will on the Social Democrats and the Greens. This means that more importance is being attached to NATO than the United Nations and that the curtailment of the rights of freedom has been considered more important than removing the causes which make humiliated people into terrorists. This is exactly what it takes to ensure the enduring and increasing indignation of the victims of the current balance of power, ownership and income in the world. It is nice that the Liberal party still wants to add a charitable slant to this poor position but it does not change the effect. I am disappointed by the support of the Social Democrats and the Greens, who are showing that they now want to belong to the emerging parliamentary majority at any price."@en1
