"Ladies and gentlemen, terrorism, terrorism and more terrorism, democracy and common values; it is always these same phrases that we hear in relation to our big brother observing us from across the Atlantic and from space, monitoring us from bases in Germany, Italy, Hungary and Turkey, from African, Asian and Latin American countries, from nuclear submarines, from pilotless aircraft and from who knows where else. We should therefore start work on a resolution on mutually beneficial, balanced and forward-looking relations.
We must beware of sensitive topics, however. Inhumane and degrading conditions in certain US prisons must be kept secret. It is essential to make loud declarations of cooperation in the war on terror and bioterrorism and to attempt to uncover the sources of funding for terrorism. What do we not mention in our resolution? The sources of modern arms for terrorist organisations, cooperation in removing nuclear weapons from the Middle East and ending support for terrorists in Central Asia, the Caucasus and Western and Central Africa. It is certainly no easy matter to tell a stronger partner one’s views openly and clearly. We may criticise Turkey and Russia, however, and perhaps even Bangladesh.
You will undoubtedly be aware that literacy and universal health insurance are among the values of European civilisation. What a shame that our partner does not recognise the same values. Which of you, ladies and gentlemen, will propose these common values in the next resolution? Do you not know that illiteracy affects millions across the pond, and that universal health insurance has yet to be successfully introduced? According to public domain research, thermonuclear fusion is an ordinary task for civilisation, which should be resolved together. If we are allies, let us not shrink from pointing out these tasks and encouraging our partner to resolve them."@en1
