"Madam President, four years ago I was an observer at elections to the Palestinian Authority, and I do mean the Palestinian Authority. I remember the illusory opinion of one of the more important people in the European Parliament. That person said to me: ‘Why, the people from Hamas are basically nice, cultured, friendly people. Perhaps we should negotiate with them.’ Today, I hear the same. I hear, today, that perhaps we should negotiate with the moderate Taliban. Only, the question arises – who are the moderate Taliban, and is this not too flexible a concept? I would caution against taking such a line.
It is clear that a great many soldiers are being killed in Afghanistan – including soldiers from my country, from Poland – far too many of these soldiers are being killed, our strategy is costing too much money, and NATO’s strategy is also questionable. However, I would not throw the baby out with the bathwater, and I warn against dialogue with people who in reality have objectives which are completely different objectives from ours."@en1
