"I voted against the European Parliament joint resolution on Libya because it calls for the establishment of a no-fly zone over the country, which is the first step toward military intervention. We cannot in any way endorse the military solution for the Libyan crisis or for any other crisis. We were highly critical of the military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan and must not make the same mistake now. The examples of those two countries should teach us that violence only begets more violence, which, in the end, has devastating consequences for civilians.
In the case of Libya, I condemn the violence that Gaddafi is using against his people, and I sympathise with the people’s protest movements. However, I believe that the solution in Libya must come from a cessation of violence and through diplomatic channels."@en1
