lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the camp of those who are opposed to the unjust pre-emptive war that the UK and the US intends to launch in Iraq is growing in strength from day to day, both in national public opinions, as demonstrated by surveys and demonstrations, and in the United Nations Security Council. The diplomatic resolve of France, Germany and Russia may give the politicians of the United Kingdom, and even those of the United States, pause for thought. War is war, but the prelude to war is not war. At a time when world peace is on the edge of a precipice, it would not be dishonourable – quite the contrary – to refrain, despite the Homeric speeches and the money that has been spent, from an act which is so unjust, so contrary to human rights, and so dangerous. Should the US not go to war, it would not be unthinkable for the united European Parliament – why not? – to propose to the parliamentary committee in Oslo that the Nobel Peace Prize be awarded to George W. Bush for having helped to achieve, in Iraq, the objectives set by the United Nations, without shedding blood or tears, that he be credited, on his own account and on behalf of his people, with having gained this great peaceful victory. If things turn out differently, however, and if the unfortunate people of Iraq, especially the children, are sacrificed to the demons of war, the consequences will be disastrous. The resulting shake-up of the world would release the forces of evil everywhere. Then again, what would be the next stage in the promised reshaping of the Middle East? Would the next target of the super-power’s army be Iran, Syria, or other countries, for there would then be no limit to the law that the strongest power prevails?"@en1
