European Parliament
Caudron (GUE/NGL ),
in writing
(FR)
War is always a failure in which the first victims are always innocent people.
Moreover, in this case, if Iraq is not the only country governed by a dictator, or the only State with weapons of mass destruction, the fact that it has a lot of oil should not give George W. Bush the right to throw the region into a state of unrest in the medium term. We should therefore say no to war and trust the UN.
This is why I voted in favour of Parliament’s resolution against war, and regret that a large proportion of the right wing opposed it.
