"Any attack upon civilians is abominable, and the sabre rattling we are hearing in Washington – the President uses expressions such as ‘crusade’ – is therefore also abominable. It is monstrous because we know that a military intervention will, in any case, destroy civil society and create the best possible breeding ground for further terrorism. Our most important task is to remind our allies in the United States of the need for caution and considered action, for terrorism is not to be combated through military action. With regard to the proposals tabled by the Commission, I would just say that these do not contain what is necessary to prevent terrorism, whose roots go much deeper. What is proposed is neither necessary nor adequate to stamp out terrorism and does not even begin to pinpoint the fundamental causes, which is what is important. Let us steer clear of these military metaphors and this talk of battles, crusades and waging war."@en1
