lpv:translated text	"Mr President, that everyone is agreed that we cannot accept a regime of religious maniacs having weapons of mass destruction at their disposal is not something we have learned only today, so from that point of view this debate is superfluous. Far more relevant is the question as to whether we should not have stepped in much sooner. Allow me in this minute to draw your attention to the hypocrisy which Europe and the US display in matters such as these in order to pursue . It was, after all, France which offered Ayatollah Khomeini shelter and asylum and which helped ensure that the Shah’s Persia was able to slip into obscurantism. If we are shocked today – as we rightly are – by Teheran’s barbaric execution of minors, at the same time as it plays a leading role in the smear campaign against Denmark, should we not also question the human rights situation in the large Islamic country Saudi Arabia, which is claimed to be the USA’s major ally and hence ours too? We have not even mentioned Pakistan, itself a country armed with nuclear weapons. What do we do if another Ahmadinejad starts rebelling over there tomorrow?"@en1
