".
I voted against the compromise resolution on Iraq because it goes back on the position taken up by Parliament on 30 January last. The new resolution does not condemn this unilateral military intervention, which has taken place without the backing of the UN, which I consider to be essential. Some Members appear to be more susceptible to the language of force and the fait accompli of this war than to international law and public opinion as expressed in street demonstrations.
The European Parliament, while bombs are destroying Baghdad and international law is being disregarded, is content to bemoan the war, regret the fact that inspections did not continue and ask the belligerents not to use weapons of mass destruction. This would undoubtedly have been a cause for concern for our citizens. No resolution at all would be better than this lame compromise."@en1
