We talk as a friend to Britain and the United Nations by putting down this marker. It would be wrong to suggest that the 40 million people of Irish extraction in North America are all in favour of this war. They look to us for leadership. I am sure this debate has made a major contribution. Whether we agree or disagree with the different views, we express them openly, honestly and sincerely. It behoves us, as a nation with a great tradition of independence and compassion, to do so in the coming weeks and months.
