lpv:translated text	"Mr President, what is this war about? Knowing the answer to that question is of course the prior condition of being able to prevent it. As the weapons inspectors become more successful in their work, the purpose of the war is, however, changing. I now also hear from my esteemed fellow MEP, Mrs Malmström, that what is at issue is removing the dictator in Baghdad. Excuse me, but I thought the idea was to disarm Iraq and destroy its weapons of mass destruction. The picture I now have is of the UN’s far exceeding the limits of its powers and replacing regimes we do not like. We do not like Saddam Hussein. Being opposed to the war is not the same as being friends with Saddam Hussein; or with Mr Le Pen for that matter; or, indeed, with President Chirac. I am not friendly with any of them, but that only shows of course how broad the anti-war movement is, and how narrow the movement in favour of war is gradually becoming. If what we are concerned with is a change of regime, may I ask where the EU is when it is a question of receiving refugees from the dictatorship we wish to bring to an end. Where is the EU when people take flight from the abominable dictator described by my fellow MEP, Mr Evans? Why do we throw those refugees back into the hands of the regime we want to change? Why, just as my fellow MEP Mr Cohn-Bendit said, do we not support democratic movements in Iran? I shall stop there, for I have no more speaking time left."@en1
