". My position has been sufficiently expressed in the way I have voted in the many interlinked votes that have been held on the various motions for resolutions. Let nobody else say that there is ‘a European position’ on this matter and that it is the decision of any particular government that has torn the EU apart. The problem is extremely serious and complex and cannot be resolved either through demagogy, or through Member States passing the buck to one another. Nor can it be resolved through attempts at blackmail, or through coercion within the Union. The European Parliament’s inability to adopt any position at all on the Iraqi crisis either, specifically in the current context, reveals the complexity of the real difficulties that exist – and these can only be overcome when there is mutual respect for the existence of these differences and for the significance of these differences, leaving behind the regrettable irresponsibility of the left, the daydreams of the pacifists and the dangerous new impulses of a certain centre- European approach. Whatever is said about a so-called ‘American empire’, it is quite clear that Europe will never achieve a common position on international matters and issues as sensitive as this by transferring intra-European imperial bad habits or by knee-jerk reactions that betray the lingering presence of this old memory.
