"Mr President, Afghanistan and Pakistan are cases where the worst tendencies of international geopolitics – the politics of great empires, of great powers – meet the worst local tendencies. Moreover, afterwards, when these countries have stopped serving their temporary purpose for high-level international politics, they will be left to collapse and then regress to these countries’ worst tribal and atavistic tendencies.
That is what has happened in Afghanistan. The United States have been discovering for a number of years that there is no military solution for Afghanistan. Of course there is no military solution for Afghanistan. We have known for decades – if not centuries or millennia – that there is no military solution for Afghanistan. However, preparations are being made for a transitional government, including the Taliban, which will mean a significant regression to all sorts of practices traditional in that country; sometimes anti-women practices, such as the practice of
the sale of women – or of gang rape as a way of avenging the honour of certain families.
Yes, let us vote for these resolutions, but let us also demand that the EU be fully aware of these events, particularly when it implements its agreements with these countries."@en1
