Iraq Crisis: Statements (Resumed).

 

Today's debate was filled with palpable, controlled emotion. We had to get behind the rhetoric. That is why the debate was so important. We had to talk about humanitarian issues, sovereignty, the rights of people and the bigger, global issue of human rights where resources can be diverted to assist those who cannot help themselves. By so doing, we will ensure we do not spawn a further terrorist group in those countries, arising from unrest and dissatisfaction.
