lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the current situation lends a great deal of weight to the opening sequence of Roman Polanski’s award-winning film ‘The Pianist’, released last year, which showed a Polish family joyfully celebrating with champagne when it is announced that the French and British have declared war to go to the aid of Polish democracy in September 1939. The rest of the film shows the extent of the suffering awaiting the family. These images are useful in that they temper the confidence we might have today in a cause which, ultimately, is just, and our hopes for a democratic future for Iraq, and add a human aspect. For, as a last resort, the combat taking place will set soldiers from democratic States against a totalitarian State. And in the face of such a situation, it is impossible to remain neutral. Mr President, war is an evil, but in some cases it can be the lesser of two evils. The war has begun and Europe has been unable to prevent it. We must therefore do all we can, Europe must do all it can to ensure that this war is the lesser evil."@en1
