lpv:translated text	"Mr President, with the United Nations ruled out of the game, with NATO rendered powerless, and with the European Union coming unravelled, the revelation of the day, ladies and gentlemen, is not war, or to be more precise the international ‘rat hunt’, which it is claimed began tonight, although this claim is wrong because Iraq has been bombed every day for the last twelve years by the empire – or rather by the empire and its flunkeys. Nor is the revelation of the day the folly of the empire, this American empire to which we Europeans, like cowards, have been handing the keys to the world for years, whilst remaining fascinated, despite their shift towards totalitarianism, by their culture, their images and their language. No, the novelty of the day is that the age-old dream of multilateralism and collective security, which inspired the entire twentieth century, has been shattered. Like the League of Nations once did, the UN is crumbling into insignificance. The international community is nothing but a hollow formula for supporting the empire and its Anglo-Saxon flunkeys. All that remains are States and only France, assisted by Belgium and Germany, remains to save Europe’s honour. Consequently, in this slightly ridiculous debate, there is only one thing to say: ‘The European Union is dead! Long live the sovereignty of the world’s nations! Long live the Iraqi nation! And long live France!’"@en1
