lpv:translated text	". Regardless of the fact that the European Parliament was unable in the end to pass a resolution on Iraq, the way in which the majority of MEPs voted on the individual amendments is indicative of how it is dealing with this new demonstration of imperialist barbarity. All the amendments condemning the war as unjust and illegal and calling on the Member States not to provide facilities to the invaders were rejected. In an unprecedented distortion of the truth, the majority of members even voted against amendments which simply stated the obvious, that this war is being waged without the backing of the UN, is opposed by most members of the Security Council and has incited millions of people to take to the streets in daily protest. By contrast, the amendments adopted prove that all the European Parliament is interested in is the so-called ‘reconstruction’ of Iraq, for which read the sharing out of the spoils, and further militarization of the ΕU by strengthening the CSDP. It seems to us that the more the American and British imperialists stain their hands with the blood of the Iraqi people, the further the masks of the so-called moderate European imperialists will drop. The only opponent able to put an end to the war and overturn the powers supporting it is the anti-imperialist, grass-roots movement."@en1
