". The responsibility for producing, spreading and using weapons of mass destruction (WMD) (nuclear, chemical and biological weapons) lies solely with the imperialist powers, including countries of the European Union. This is the historic truth that the motions for resolutions by the European Parliament try to conceal. They are full of bombast and hypocritical interest, without ever naming who produces, spreads and uses these weapons. In earlier and in modern times, WMD have always been used to subjugate peoples to imperialist rule. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed by the USA. Napalm bombs were used for the first time in Grammo against the Greek Democratic Army and in Vietnam by the USA. Depleted uranium was used by the USA and ΝΑΤΟ in the wars against Iraq, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia. Chemical and biological weapons were sold to Saddam by European companies and were used recently by the USA in Faluja. When and whenever WMD have been used, they have always had the identity of imperialism. The motions for resolutions by the European Parliament not only fail to refer to any of this, they shift the responsibility to smaller states and individual sides, often with libellous accusations, in order to create pretexts for new interventions and wars and to safeguard their sovereignty."@en1
