lpv:translated text	"The majority of the members of the Security Council seem to want to give peace another chance. They prefer to disarm Iraq by peaceful means, using the weapons inspectors. More pressure must be put on Iraq to cooperate. Parliament has contributed to this through its resolution and by a number of MEPs travelling to Baghdad to explain our position. A majority in Parliament is on the same wavelength, therefore, as the majority of the public. It is remarkable that the governments of some Member States would rather take the side of the United States than that of their own citizens. Even Turkey, traditionally a staunch supporter of the United States, considers war to be very risky. And then people say that France, Germany and Belgium are isolated! Would it not be the US, rather, that was isolated if they could not bring to bear a whole arsenal of means of coercion? It is not enough to make every effort to stave off a military invasion of Iraq. Peaceful means must indeed be used to bring Iraq not only to disarm, but also to change, to respect human rights, to respect the right to life and respect for the diverse peoples and cultures within the Iraqi borders and to respect for all the peoples in the region."@en1
