lpv:translated text	"It now seems to be an established fact that the Government of the United States is determined to go to war against Iraq, whatever the Security Council decides. With or without the authorisation of the Security Council, this war is unjustifiable. Of course we must hope that reason will prevail within the Security Council and that, if there is a war, it will be formally contrary to international legality. Those thirty or so of us who have just been to Iraq were able to see for ourselves the state of material and moral dilapidation of the country, trapped as it is between a ludicrous and bloody dictatorship and the sanctions imposed by the international community. The Iraqi army is merely a shadow of its former self, and is formidable only in the hallucinations of the American President. What concerns the oil-obsessed Government of the United States is of course control of the black gold, and not the weapons of mass destruction which, as the experts know full well, Iraq does not possess. This war will be another crushing blow for people who are already suffering greatly, particularly the Kurdish population. Among those people it will give rise to lasting and justified hatred of the West, and will cause innumerable tragedies. This crisis shows how far Europe still has to go before it becomes anything other than an integrated economic area."@en1
