lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the leaders of the USA and Britain, unfortunately with the connivance of many – if not all – of the governments of the members of ΝΑΤΟ and the European Union, are moving towards all-out attack on the Iraqi people, with incalculable consequences both for them and the rest of the world. To justify their attack, they have submitted unsubstantiated and obsolete evidence to the UN, provided by the CIA’s ‘evidence is us’ department or lifted from PhD theses or bugged telephone conversations in the 1990s, as the US ambassador to Greece admitted to the press the other day. This is their excuse of an argument for committing a terrible crime against the long-suffering Iraqi people who, as I had the opportunity of seeing for myself last week, have paid a heavy price over the last 12 years for the 1991 bombings, the embargo and the tyrannical dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. We speak for the overwhelming majority of our citizens taking to the streets day after day, when we say: No to war and the embargo against Iraq! Respect for the right of the Iraqi people to determine their own future! No more using the UN to legalise force! This crime can be avoided. The problem is whether the European Parliament will abandon its indulgent, Pontius Pilate approach and come out clearly against this criminal war."@en1
