lpv:translated text	"Madam President, unfortunately the fears which I expressed the very day after the terrorist attack in the USA have come true and the death of the thousands of innocent American victims is being used as an excuse for a barbaric attack on Afghanistan, giving rise to new hordes of innocent victims and causing tremendous damage. Today, 15 days after the attacks started, it is clear – witness the announcements by the US administration – that the aim is not to stamp out terrorism, it is – or at least one of the aims is – to control central Asia and its huge natural resources and highly important geo-strategic position. My fear, especially after Mrs Gandhi, that this attack will be used to further strengthen capitalist mechanisms and curtail our workers' and our nations' democratic freedoms and rights, has also come true. The EU, led by the three, has aligned with the USA in what is a disastrous policy for our nations and our planet. I believe that the European Parliament, as a democratically elected house, has a duty, if it wants to serve the peaceful, democratic visions and wishes of our people, to oppose these developments, to push for the EU to disassociate itself from them, to stop the war and to revert to resolving differences by peaceful means. However, in the final analysis, it is up to the people. ***"@en1
