"Mr President, three years ago we were wondering what to do with Iraq. Some countries joined the coalition, some did not. The price we all paid was enormous. Let us support democracy using our European soft means. Let us support democracy in Palestine by guiding Hamas towards participation in fair elections. Let us disarm it in our soft way. How should we do this? Not via non-transparent budgetary support. We should fund ambitious and specific projects that directly counter Hamas' demagogic propaganda. Let us directly finance 200 doctors in the West Bank and let us equip and maintain 100 primary schools in the same area with our full support, clearly acting under the European flag. This would be a 'soft' way to disarm Hamas. There is another Soviet style authoritarian regime in our Mediterranean neighbourhood. We do not need to send troops, and we do not need to sign an association agreement with that regime. Let us stick with Resolution 1559. Let us call for the immediate withdrawal of troops from Lebanon. Let us call for the free and fair elections in Lebanon that Arab street, Beirut, is calling for today. But let us also separate Syria from Hizbollah, its terrorist companion, with no artificial distinctions between military and social links. We should put Hizbollah on the European list of terrorist organisations immediately."@en1
