"I should like to say two things very quickly. Firstly, I think I am right in saying that Mr Jouyet previously regretted in the press the influence of US conservative sectors, or certain conservative sectors, in the ‘No’ vote in the Irish referendum. I believe we all now regret the extravagant praise of neo-con policies in the Caucasus crisis. In this respect, many can be held responsible.
Tbilisi is responsible for the incomprehensible decision to take military action. Moscow is responsible for deciding on a brutal and disproportionate response. Washington, with a happily retiring President, is responsible for having fuelled years of tension in the region.
Secondly, I believe that Europe has a fundamental responsibility which can only be met by building, not soft power or hard power, but political power which depends on the unity of all the Member State governments."@en1
