lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I warmly appreciated Commissioner Patten’s words, but it is with great disappointment and concern that I note that the text of the joint motion for a resolution on the situation in Iraq that has been put before us is a serious step backwards compared with Parliament’s condemnation of the United States’ pre-emptive war that was issued early in 2003. Today, faced with the political and military disaster of the occupation, we cannot even demand or envisage the withdrawal of the occupying foreign troops and we avoid the need to identify those responsible for the current situation. I see no political realism. The evidence says that a mass uprising of the people is under way against the occupying powers and against a government that does not represent the country. The terrorist presence cannot hide that fact. Indeed, as Mr D’Alema said as well, it is the presence of foreign troops that is attracting and causing the terrorism. If it does not make a stand, Europe is in serious danger of finding itself in a few months’ time not only facing an even more widespread disaster but also of being jointly responsible for it. Under these conditions, the elections planned for January 2005, if they take place, will be neither free nor fair. Condemning terrorism without saying who and what created the whole situation means we are hiding our heads in the sand. I believe we should send out a different signal to public opinion in the Arab and Islamic world and also to public opinion in Europe, the major part of which is hostile to the war, calling first of all for an immediate halt to the bombing. Otherwise we all shall miss a great opportunity to contribute to justice and peace and to influence the international situation for the good."@en1
