"Mr President, UN Resolution 1441 must be complied with. Some say that this is exclusively Saddam Hussein’s responsibility. They are placing the fate of the world in the hands of a psychopathic dictator. We too have a responsibility, namely to work out how much cooperation is required here and now in order to prevent a war. When we were in Baghdad last week, the weapons inspectors made it quite clear that, if they were to continue to be present, Saddam Hussein could neither develop new weapons nor use those he already has. We must give the weapons inspectors more time. We must support the Franco-German proposal, and we must do so partly on humanitarian grounds. UNHCR has drawn attention to the fact that 100 000 Iraqis would die in the first 48 hours of a war. Seven million people would be without food, and 22 million debilitated Iraqis would be without clean drinking water. There would be a danger of civil war. Dare we take responsibility for all this by demanding that UN resolutions be complied with to the letter here and now? I also think that this debate is too serious to be subordinated to domestic policy."@en1
