"Mr President, while we sit here debating, a tragedy is unfolding in Palestine: a humanitarian as well as a political tragedy. If this policy is not stopped, it will not only destroy the present, it will also destroy the future for any political solution. For both the Palestinians and the Israelis. In this sense, Sharon's political actions are to be condemned. At this stage, sitting on the fence – or going nowhere near the fence – is tantamount to complicity. It is time for action, initiative and intervention. Any further prevarication is pointless and destructive. Tomorrow, Mr Solana, you will be holding discussions with Colin Powell and the others. I trust that Mr Powell's opinion will sit with Mr Bush's opinion and Mr Rumsfeld's opinion and Mr Cheney's opinion. You know what I mean. With Europe having to evaluate its values and principles now, however, its first message must be that it believes in what it says and will act on it and the proposals made by the various Members should be used as active guidelines for practical purposes. Now we are being tested, now we are showing what our policies are really made of."@en1
