lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, our resolutions become no more convincing the more self-righteously we belabour one another with judgments about what is wrong and what right. We should be helping to find ways out of the crisis. Firstly, the war must be brought to an end as speedily as possible, with the minimum possible damage being done to people, and Saddam Hussein and his criminal regime being disarmed. Secondly, the Iraqi people must then have the opportunity to take their own decisions, and the United Nations – rather than one of the belligerent parties – must assume responsibility for the reconstruction of the country. To this reconstruction, thirdly, the European Union must make a determined contribution, it being in its own primary interest that peaceful development should take root both in Iraq and throughout the Middle East. We are currently finding out how much we are affected when the opposite happens. Fourthly, we must reinvigorate the transatlantic partnership and rebuild a relationship of trust with the United States of America, which will, for the foreseeable future, remain the only power capable of guaranteeing order and security on a global and regional scale. All credit for that to the Americans, to whom we Germans owe a great deal, for they stood up for our freedom at a time when that freedom was menaced by Soviet Communism. Then their soldiers had the responsibility of guaranteeing the freedom of our capital, Berlin. It is for those reasons that I am in solidarity with the United States, even though this solidarity has a critical edge to it from time to time. Solidarity of this sort is not to be abandoned out of hand when there are differences of opinion, for we see no alternatives to the Atlantic Alliance, any more than there are alternatives to European unification."@en1
