"This text resorts to a jumble of meaningless phrases in an attempt to paper over the differences between the medium-sized powers in the European Union. One of these powers backed the United States to the hilt by taking part in the invasion of Iraq, whilst the others adopted a more prudent approach.
It is true that the discrepancies between the policies of both sides are now diminishing. Given the present difficulties of the occupation, the United States needs more forces on the ground. Member States are becoming more favourably disposed to supplying such forces on condition that this is done under the aegis of the United Nations.
For our part, we are opposed to supporting an aggressive, imperialist war, even after the event. Likewise, we refuse to support the occupation even if it were under the auspices of the United Nations.
Not a single person from the European Union should leave their homeland to promote the interests of the great imperialist powers in Iraq! Down with the imperialist war and occupation!"@en1
